What do lawyers point to when they want to convince you that something is important? Actual cases. Cases that the government brought against violators and where the government demonstrated that it meant business.

So how do we convince clients that compliance programs are important and the government takes these programs seriously? How do we convince them that programs have to be genuinely robust? The same way: We cite cases with real-world examples.
