Jim Kaplan Quoted in Law360 Article About World Cup Human Trafficking Risks and Compliance Challenges
Media Mention
Jim Kaplan, a Quarles & Brady partner in the Business Law Practice Group, was quoted in a Law360 article about a U.S. Treasury warning that the 2026 World Cup may increase trafficking risks and require banks to stay alert. The guidance also highlights risks for industries like hotels, transportation and retail.
An excerpt:
“The World Cup will come and go,” Kaplan said. “I think the concern is more broad, and what it speaks to is that FinCEN wants to redouble its efforts to target terrorist and what I could call political financing.”
…
“It’s like on the subway: ‘If you see something, say something,’” Kaplan said. “That advice to staff will be heightened during the World Cup, to say this must not be ignored.”
