Jay Rosen, Vice President, Legal & Corporate Language Solutions for Merrill Corporation and host Kortney Nordrum discuss the importance of accurate translations in compliance, including:

  • Why accurate translations matter;
  • What is a certified translation;
  • Why Becky down the hall who spent a summer in Paris shouldn’t translate your documents;
  • 3 good excuses why you don’t think you need to hire a translation company (and why you may be wrong);
  • How to build a solid 3-5 year translation plan;
  • Recording your translation plan for audit purposes;
  • Why using free online sites may be more 1984 than 2016;
  • What you should look for when hiring a translator/linguist; and
  • Are translations a right or a privilege?

Jay utilizes his experience, deep industry knowledge and consultative approach to provide cost effective translation solutions for global investigations, patent and IP litigation, FCPA, Ethics and Compliance localization and cross-border matters.   He is particularly interested in helping companies to proactively deal with foreign language based investigations of potential Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) exposure whether through “whistleblower” initiated, self investigation, pre-M&A due diligence or designing global monitor and compliance localization solutions.
