Brazil Government Official Bribes: New Laws Prohibit Multinational Corporations From Bribing Brazilian Government Officials and Offer Large Financial Rewards and Protections to International Whistleblowers for Exposing Government Corruption and Illegal Bribes by Brazil Government Official Bribe Lawyer and Brazil Government Official Illegal Payment Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

International Contract Bribes and SEC Bounty Actions: Multinational Corporations That Illegally Bribe Brazilian Government Officials Are The Target of FCPA SEC Bounty Actions That Reward and Protect International Whistleblowers That Expose Illegal Bribes, Kickbacks, and other Government Corruption by Brazil Government Official Bribe Lawyer and Brazil Government Official Illegal Payment Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

With the rapidly expanding Brazilian economy, many international corporations are using illegal bribes, kickbacks, and other illicit payments to government officials to obtain lucrative government contracts, construction contracts, and oil contracts.  These illegal bribes are the target of new laws that offer large financial rewards and whistle blower protections to international whistle blowers that expose illegal bribes and other government corruption.  These whistle blower reward laws are essential and effective in exposing government official bribes, government agent kickbacks, fraud, embezzlement, and other forms of corruption.

These foreign anti-bribery laws are part of a global trend where governments around the world are cracking down on large corrupt multinational corporations that are offering bribes and kickbacks to government officials in order to obtain large government contracts, avoid health & safety regulations, bypass environmental laws, and exploit populations in foreign countries.

If you are aware of significant international contract bribes, illegal kickbacks or other corrupt practices by foreign companies and/or multinational corporations, please feel free to contact Brazil Government Official Bribe Lawyer Jason Coomer. 


Analysis: Next hurdles for Brazil: sticky fingers, red tape | Reuters

"The ministry overseeing Brazil's new $66 billion infrastructure plan was also ground zero for a spectacular corruption scandal last year in which officials allegedly demanded 5 percent kickbacks on highway construction projects and then pushed carts down the hallways to hand out the cash."


"Rousseff hopes the infrastructure plan, unveiled on Wednesday, will revolutionize Brazil's decrepit highway and railway system. She is also betting it will provide a boost to an economy that has barely grown during the past year, and is struggling to upgrade its infrastructure before hosting the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympics."

"The initiative marks a major shift from practices over the past decade in which successive left-leaning governments oversaw planning, execution and maintenance of most infrastructure projects. Under the new scheme, which some have labeled a privatization, businesses will be responsible for most aspects of building or improving about 4,500 miles of highways and 6,200 miles of railroads."

"Rousseff said she will outline similar initiatives for sea ports and airports in coming weeks."

"Observers generally praised the spirit of the plan, but pointed out that it does not remove the state entirely from the equation. Brazil's notoriously slow environmental licensing process, a legal system that allows projects to be halted for tenuous reasons, and continued problems with graft mean that the plan is likely to fall short of Rousseff's expectation of $50 billion in investments in just five years."

Protecting Corporate and Partnership assets including investment capital, mineral rights, intellectual property, water rights, stock, real estate, trade secrets, customer lists, and revenues is an important part of running a successful business.  However, sometimes someone in a position of power or with opportunity will take advantage of a situation to steal or take what does not belong to them.  The first step in recovering the assets is to obtain evidence of the fraudulent act.  Commonly, computer hard drives, e-mail messages, and accounting records are the best source of evidence to prove wrongdoing.  The  second step is to calculate the assets that were taken and any additional damages that this fraud has caused.  The third step is to identify all potential defendants that allowed the fraud to take place and who profited from the corporate fraud.

Libor Lawsuits: States, Pensions, and Hedge Funds are Reviewing Potential Libor Lawsuits: Libor scandal riles Calpers chief investment officer


States, Pension Funds, and Hedge Fund Lawyers Are Reviewing Libor Fraud Lawsuits Regarding Rate Manipulation on Interest Rate Derivative Contracts and Other Investments by Texas Libor Lawsuit Lawyer and Texas Libor Interest Rate Manipulation Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Libor Scandal Riles Calpers Chief Investment Officer

"Libor is compiled from estimates by big banks of how much they believe they have to pay to borrow from each other and is used for $550 trillion of interest rate derivatives contracts. It also influences rates on many lending transactions, including mortgages, student loans and credit card transactions."

"Suspected manipulation by global banks of Libor benchmark international rates shows the financial services industry cannot be trusted to act in the best interest of long-term investors like the California Public Employees' Retirement System and any misdeeds uncovered in Libor probes need to prosecuted, said Joe Dear, who oversees the assets of the $233 billion pension fund."


"On Sunday, a spokesman for New York Attorney General Eric Schneider said the state is investigating possible rigging of Libor, and other states, such as Florida, are also looking at possible legal actions. Connecticut's attorney general launched a probe six months ago."

"U.S. and British authorities last month fined Barclays Plc, the bank at the center of the Libor scandal, a record $450 million for manipulating the rate. Barclays employees are not shielded from criminal prosecution. The U.S. Justice Department is also building criminal cases against several financial institutions and their employees, The New York Times reported on Saturday."

The 2012 Federal Estate Tax Exemption Portability Provision Allows Some Couples to Protect Up To $10.24 Million From The Federal Estate Tax by Texas Family Wealth Planning Lawyer and Texas Family Wealth Protection Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

The 2012 Federal Estate Tax Exemption Allows Most Individuals to Pass $5.12 Million and Some Couples to Pass $10.24 Million to Loved Ones Without Having to Pay a Federal Estate Tax by Texas Wealth Planning Lawyer and Texas Family Wealth Protection Lawyer Jason S. Coomer
The Federal Estate Tax currently allows a person that has not used their life time gift tax exemption to give away money assets up to the Federal Estate Tax Exemption at death without charging any tax on that amount.  The Federal Estate Tax Exemption for 2012 is $5.12 million which means that in 2012 only estates valued over $5.12 million will be charged a Federal inheritance tax and those estates over $5.12 million will only pay a 35% Federal inheritance tax on assets over the $5.12 million exemption.

For example a person that has an estate valued at $7.12 million and has not used any of their life time gift tax would be subject to the Federal Estate Tax on $2 million and would have to pay approximately $700,000.00 in estate taxes.

The 2012 Federal Estate Tax Exemption Portability Provision Allows Some Couples to Protect Up To $10.24 Million From The Federal Estate Tax

However, it should be kept in mind that for 2012 the Federal Estate Tax Exemption has become portable.  As such, each spouse has $5.12 million that can in many case be added together to create a $10.24 million Federal Estate Tax Exemption.  In other words, the estate of a deceased spouse can transfer to the surviving spouse any portion of the federal estate tax exemption that it does not use. The surviving spouse’s estate can then add that amount to the exemption it is entitled to, increasing the total amount that can be passed on to heirs tax free.

For example a married couple that has an estate valued at $10.24 million, has not used any of their life time gift tax, and properly uses the portability of the Federal Estate Tax Exemption would not have to pay any Federal estate tax.  Likewise, the same married couple with an estate of $12.24 would be subject to the Federal Estate Tax on $2 million and would have to pay approximately $700,000.00 in estate taxes.

Families interested in protecting their wealth should stay advised as to changes in the law that could impact their ability to protect their family's wealth.  One such change may be the change in the Federal Estate Tax Exemption that may automatically take place at the end of 2012, unless new legislation is passed.

Austin Texas Drunk Driver Fatal Accidents Leave Behind Loved Ones With Potential Legal Claims by Austin Texas Drunk Driver Accident Death Lawyer and Austin Texas Fatal Drunk Driver Accident Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Every Year Thousands of Texans Are Killed by the Negligence of Drunk Drivers: These People Leave Behind Mothers, Fathers, Wives, Children, and other Family Members that Have Potential Legal Claims Under Texas Law For Their Loss by Austin Texas Drunk Driver Accident Death Lawyer and Austin Texas Fatal Drunk Driver Accident Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Every year thousands of Texans are killed by the negligence of drunk drivers, intoxicated drivers, and drivers under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Many of the people that are killed by drunk and intoxicated drivers, leave behind spouses, parents, children, and other loved ones that are devastated by their loss.  These mothers, fathers, wives, husbands, sons, and daughters have the ability under Texas law to file wrongful death lawsuits against the intoxicated and negligent driver, the  people or businesses that over served the drunk with alcohol, and the business or people that gave the vehicle to the drunk driver to drive.
 
It is common that many people who have lost a loved one to a drunk driver, do not realize that they may have a viable wrongful death or survival lawsuit against the person that negligently or recklessly killed their loved one as well as other parties that contributed to the drunk driver driving and causing the collision.  Under Texas law, Parents, Children, and Spouses of persons killed by drunk drivers have potential wrongful death claims against the drunk driver that killed their mother, father, husband, wife, son, or daughter.  Through these wrongful death lawsuits and survival actions the relatives of a person killed by a drunk driver can often recover from the drunk driver's insurance company, the drunk driver, parents that provided alcohol to minors that were driving, or the bar where the drunk was drinking.

Every Year Several Texans Are Killed in Boating Accidents and Drowning Accident by Austin Texas Boat Accident Lawyer and Austin Texas Drowning Accident Lawyer

Negligent Boat Owners, Boat Operators, Pool Owners, Lake House Owners, and Marinas Kill Several People Each Year and Can Often Be Held Liable For Their Negligent Actions by Texas Fatal Boating Accident Lawyer, Texas Drowning Accident Lawyer and Austin Texas Boat Accident Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Every year a large number of people are killed in boating accidents, water sport accidents, and drowning accidents.  Many of these people are accidentally killed by negligent and careless boat operators, boat owners, marinas, and boat rental companies that provide alcohol, boats, and other water craft to inexperienced boat operators and people on drugs or alcohol.  These negligent marinas, boat owners, and water craft rental companies as well as the drunk, careless, or intoxicated boat operators can often be held liable under Texas law if their negligent actions kill or seriously injure a person.  In many of these fatal boating accidents, alcohol and inexperienced operators are the cause of the accidents.  These boating accidents are especially common in Lake Travis, Lake Austin, Lake LBJ, Lake Buchanan, Canyon Lake, Inks Lake, Lake Conroe, Medina Lake, and Granger Lake. 

If you have lost a family member in a Texas boating accident or have been seriously injured in a boating accident or water craft accident due the carelessness of a drunk boater, negligent boat rental company, negligent marina, negligent boat owner, or inexperienced water craft operator, it is important that you step forward and file a lawsuit against the negligent party to help prevent future similar deadly boating accidents.  For more information on Texas boat accident lawsuits, please feel free to send an e-mail message to Austin Texas Boat Accident Lawyer and Texas Marina Boat Accident Lawyer Jason Coomer for a free review of a potential Texas boating accident lawsuit or go to the following web page: Texas Boating Accident Lawyer and Texas Boat Rental Accident Lawyer.

Texas Drowning Accidents and Texas Fatal Drowning Accidents Caused By Defective Pool Drains, Defective Pool Fences, Over Served Alcohol, and Negligent Supervision Should be Investigated by Austin Texas Drowning Accident Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

In Texas, because of the extreme heat that we experience several months of the year it is understandable why many Texans head to swimming pools, lakes, and rivers for water sports to cool off.  However, safety should always be a priority when dealing with swimming pools and water sports.  This is because drowning accidents, boating accidents, and pool accidents are all too common of a killer, especially for small children.  Whether a near drowning, actual drowning, or other serious injury is caused by an incorrectly installed pool, poorly maintained pool, failure of life guards, improperly fenced pool, negligent boater, drunk boater, or other safety violations, it is important that any drowning or near drowning accident is investigated so that an additional drowning does not occur in the future.  

If you or a loved one has suffered a serious injury from a defective pool, negligent supervision, or other negligence, please make sure that the incident is reported and a proper investigation is made to determine what caused the drowning accident and to ensure that the drowning accident does not happen again.  For more information on a Texas Drowning Accident Lawsuit,  please feel free to send an e-mail to Texas Swimming Pool Accident Lawyer Jason Coomer or go to the following web page:

Changes in Texas Law Have Made Texas Birth Injury Lawsuits and Texas Infant Death Lawsuits More Difficult However These Lawsuits Are Important To Prevent Future Negligence by Texas Birth Injury Lawyer and Texas Infant Death Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Texas Birth Injury Lawsuits and Texas Infant Death Lawsuits Can Be Caused By Medical Mistakes, Physician Mistakes, and Doctor Errors: Filing A Lawsuit Can Help Prevent Future Similar Injuries to Children and Child Deaths by Texas Birth Injury Lawyer, Texas Defective Drug Birth Defect Lawyer, and Texas Infant Death Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Texas birth injury lawsuits, Texas small child injury lawsuits, Texas small child death lawsuits, and Texas infant death lawsuits are some of the most difficult types of Texas lawsuits to handle because of economic restraints and emotional issues.  The economic restraints that have been placed on these cases by the Texas Supreme Court and Texas Legislature have substantially increased the cost of filing and litigating these cases as well as have substantially reduced the compensation that families can receive for the death, pain and suffering, and mental anguish of their child.   

These cases also have a difficult emotional aspect that goes along with them.  Parents and families who should be celebrating the birth of a new child or enjoying their young child, are often caught off guard when their child dies or suffers severe disabilities.  It is often all the parents can do to grieve their loss or take care of their injured child.  Many don't realize that someone may be responsible for their child's death, birth injury or birth defect.  The family often does not have the time or energy to file a claim or seek justice for the negligence which can bring light to the mistakes or defective product that crippled or killed their child.  However, it is important for these families to act to prevent similar mistakes from killing or crippling other children.

If you believe that your child has suffered a birth injury or your family has lost an infant or small child as a result of a medical mistake, hospital error, negligent act, or defective drug, it is important that you come forward and expose the negligence, mistake, or defective drug that caused the birth injury or loss.  For more information on Texas medical mistake infant death lawsuits, Texas birth injury lawsuits, and Texas defective drug birth defect lawsuits, please feel free to send an e-mail to Texas Birth Injury Lawyer and Texas Infant Death Lawyer Jason S. Coomer  or go to the following web page: Texas Birth Injury Lawyer and Texas Infant Death Lawyer.
