London Managing Partner Christine Braamskamp Quoted in Law360 on SFO's Enforcement of DPA Against Guralp Systems

London Managing Partner Christine Braamskamp shared her insights with Law360 on the Serious Fraud Office's decision to pursue enforcement proceedings against Guralp Systems Ltd. This marks the first time the SFO has accused a company of breaching the terms of a deferred prosecution agreement (DPA).

Christine noted that SFO Director Nick Ephgrave is signalling to the market "that the terms of a DPA are non-negotiable and that [the SFO] will take a zero-tolerance approach to any non-compliance." She emphasised that the decision to push ahead with enforcement proceedings makes it clear the agency "wants to take a stand."

The case follows Guralp's failure to pay £2.1 million under its 2019 DPA, which resolved allegations of corrupt payments to a South Korean official. The enforcement action will unfold at Southwark Crown Court and is being closely watched for its potential implications for the UK's corporate settlement regime.
