Her practice focuses on advising global clients on international corporate compliance and related governance, including, in particular, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), as well as economic sanctions and export controls, business and human rights, and anti-money laundering laws. Known for her "business-minded" advice and "unflappable" demeanor, Ms. Atkinson works with client Boards of Directors, Audit Committees, and senior management to address compliance challenges that arise in a variety of contexts, including compliance program design and implementation, transactional counseling, advisory opinions, internal investigations, enforcement actions by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and other enforcement authorities, FCPA monitorships, as well as commercial litigation raising improper payment issues. Ms. Atkinson has also served as an expert witness in corruption-related international arbitration proceedings.

Described by Chambers USA as a "leading figure in the world of FCPA compliance," Ms. Atkinson has been selected three times as a government-appointed Independent Compliance Monitor pursuant to FCPA resolutions with the DOJ and SEC. She currently serves as the appointed Monitor for Stericycle, Inc., and previously served as Monitor for Zimmer Biomet, Inc. and KBR, Inc.

Ms. Atkinson has served as a faculty member for anti-corruption investigations training for foreign prosecutors and investigators at the CEELI Institute in Prague. She was a member of the original Transparency International task force that developed a compliance toolkit for small and medium-sized entities. She co-produced, with Homer E. Moyer, Jr., "Comply But Compete," a versatile, video-based FCPA training program.
