DALLAS, March 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- [ Branham Law Group, LLP ] announces that it is investigating Aon Corporation and certain of its officers and directors and officers for potential breaches of fiduciary duties in connection with bribery allegations and potential violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA").

In January 2009, Aon Limited, Aon's principal U.K. brokerage subsidiary, entered into a settlement agreement with the Financial Services Authority ("FSA") to pay a 5.25 million pounds Sterling fine arising from its failure to exercise reasonable care to establish and maintain effective systems and controls to counter the risks of bribery arising from the use of overseas firms and individuals who helped it win business.
