Strategies for Interacting with Federal and State Governments in Turbulent Times

From foreign investment scrutiny to trade fraud enforcement, shifting federal and state priorities are reshaping corporate compliance. At the Federation of Defense & Corporate Counsel (FDCC) 2025 Corporate Counsel Symposium (CCS) in Chicago, J.S. Held compliance, risk, and investigations expert Greg Esslinger joined a panel to discuss 'Strategies for Interacting with Federal and State Governments in Turbulent Times,' focusing on the current climate for mergers, acquisitions, and corporate compliance. Below, he shares key takeaways from the session designed to help businesses refine their M&A techniques, navigate high-stakes transactions and investigations, and realize value amid global government shifts. REGULATORY EXPECTATIONS ARE SHIFTING QUICKLY Government agencies are adjusting their enforcement priorities, with increased scrutiny on foreign investments, beneficial ownership, and emerging areas like healthcare fraud, sanctions and tariffs, and foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs). M&A REQUIRES STRATEGIC RISK MANAGEMENT  In today’s volatile regulatory climate, mergers, acquisitions, and joint ventures demand enhanced due diligence. Tariffs, supply chain disruptions, and national security concerns are reshaping how companies value and structure deals. MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL OVERSIGHT IS INCREASING State and international enforcement and regulatory agencies are ramping up efforts, bringing heightened attention to data privacy, private litigation, whistleblower actions, and cross-border investigations, which carry potential reputational and financial risk. INVESTIGATIONS DEMAND AGILITY AND FORESIGHT As enforcement priorities shift across areas like customs, healthcare, and workplace equity initiatives, companies face growing exposure to government inquiries. Preparation and adaptability are key to mitigating risk. For more information about J.S.

Detecting Fraud Using Emerging Technology: Innovating Beyond Traditional Controls

Fraud and financial crime are evolving at a pace that challenges even the most established detection systems. From cyber-enabled schemes and complex financial misappropriations to subtle internal manipulations, traditional audit and compliance methods are often too slow or too narrow to keep up. In a world where billions of data points can hide a single irregularity, the investigative advantage now lies in speed, intelligence, and technological adaptability. J.S. Held’s Ken Feinstein recently authored an article exploring how artificial intelligence, machine learning, and advanced data analytics tools are transforming how organizations uncover and prevent fraud. In his piece, “Detecting Fraud Using Emerging Technology: Don’t Be Afraid to Innovate,” Feinstein illustrates how the integration of digital investigation techniques — from automation to predictive analytics — is reshaping the fraud-detection landscape, helping companies not just react to wrongdoing but anticipate and deter it. Ken Feinstein specializes in investigative data analytics and has over 25 years of experience. He provides data analytics solutions spanning multiple sectors, including retail and consumer products, life sciences, technology, financial services, and industrial products. His clients include law firms and Fortune 500 legal and compliance teams for whom he delivers large-scale, complex investigations, regulatory response matters, proactive anti‐fraud efforts, and compliance programs. View his profile here Why This Matters As fraudsters exploit digital tools and globalized networks, detection efforts must evolve in kind. Regulators expect faster, data-driven investigations, and boards demand real-time risk visibility. Those who innovate with AI-enabled detection and forensic analytics are better positioned to protect assets, reputation, and shareholder trust. Looking to know more?

Forensic Meteorology in Insurance: Bridging Weather Science, Claims, and Liability

When severe weather strikes, the insurance industry is not only contending with damage and loss, but also with the question: Did this storm event actually occur, and did it trigger the risk covered under policy terms? J.S. Held's forensic meteorologist Daniel Schreiber authored an article explaining how Certified Consulting Meteorologists substantiate (or refute) storm-event claims by reconstructing what the weather actually did at a loss location. In his article “Forensic Meteorology in Insurance: How Do Certified Consulting Meteorologists Help with Storm Damage Claims & Disputes?” Schreiber illustrates how the overlap of a valid insurance policy, a damaging event, and a verified storm forms the core of many disputed claims. Dan Schreiber is a Certified Consulting Meteorologist with over ten years of experience in military, aviation, and severe weather operations. Mr. Schreiber has provided consulting and expert services for both plaintiff and defense law firms and insurance adjusters, appraisers, umpires, and policyholders throughout North America. He has been consulted and/or retained as an expert in over 850 matters and has testified in both depositions and during trials in state and federal courts. View his profile here Why This Matters In an era of escalating extreme weather events and heightened exposure for insurers, the science of forensic meteorology — the application of certified weather expertise to claims investigation and litigation — is becoming indispensable. Professional meteorology, as it relates to insurance claims handling and the litigation process, is becoming increasingly recognized, and the employment of meteorologists within the insurance industry is growing.
