DOJ Issues Corporate Enforcement Directive
October 19, 2026 | The Insider: White Collar Defense and Securities Enforcement
On October 1, the National Fraud Enforcement Division of the Justice Department issued Directive 26-12: Corporate Enforcement in the Fight Against Fraud, which builds on the Division’s August Enforcement Priorities Memorandum. In his latest Forbes Insider post, Morvillo Abramowitz Grand Iason & Anello PC partner Jonathan S. Sack examines how the Directive reflects what the Administration calls its “America First” agenda, which he and Elkan Abramowitz recently wrote about here. This post also explores the implications of the new Directive for white-collar defense practitioners and how the Directive demonstrates both continuity with, and change from, prior administrations’ enforcement policies.
