Raymond M. Brown, a partner in Greenbaum, Rowe, Smith & Davis LLP’s Litigation Department and Chair of the White Collar Defense & Corporate and International Human Rights Compliance Practice Group, has been invited to participate in a policy roundtable on “Promoting Human Rights in Restricted Societies.” The roundtable is being presented by the Policy Leadership Division of the U.S. Department of State’s Foreign Service Institute and will be held on May 3, 2012.

Mr. Brown will contribute to a panel discussion addressing the global and regional experiences of multilateral institutions, HR NGOs, and business enterprises in engaging with countries whose governments limit access to basic human rights of its citizens, including the issues of business ethics and corporate social responsibility with respect to how businesses interact with and market to governments that may turn those products against their own people.

A high profile criminal defense attorney with an international legal practice, Mr. Brown is also a leading figure in a developing area of the law related to the regulation and enforcement of business requirements for human rights compliance. He is host of the Emmy Award-winning New Jersey Network television program "Due Process,” a Visiting Professor and Research Scholar at Seton Hall University School of Law, and the recipient of numerous legal industry accolades. He is also the published author of articles on a variety of legal topics, including human rights due diligence and related issues.

Mr. Brown counsels foreign and domestic multinationals on a broad range of corporate risk management, governance, and transactional issues, and also defends clients in state and federal courts and before administrative tribunals.
