Practice Tip: Avoiding E-mail Compliance Traps

By Alexandra Wrage
January 31, 2014

According to an article in The Wall Street Journal, a marketing manager at British drug maker GlaxoSmithKline specifically instructed her sales team members to use their personal e-mail accounts, rather than their work accounts, to conduct some of their business. Portions of the e-mail were made public in light of allegations that the company had bribed doctors in China in order to encourage them to prescribe its drugs. Although GSK had been embroiled in allegations of bribery in China since 2010, the company received renewed attention when it was disclosed that Chinese authorities had recently detained several former GSK employees, and that those employees had since admitted to making payments to doctors.
