This CLE webinar will guide counsel to U.S. businesses accepting foreign investments and examine the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act (FIRRMA). The panel will also discuss lessons from recent Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) decisions. The panel will offer best practices for companies navigating the CFIUS process in light of recent developments.

Description

The Trump administration sought to curb Chinese investment in the U.S. and established roadblocks over which such investment must overcome. Foreign investment concerns were not limited to China. As the Biden administration takes shape, there is uncertainty about how the new administration will address the issue.

The FIRRMA was signed into law in August 2018, expanding the scope of national security reviews of foreign investments in the U.S. and making mandatory declarations for some foreign investments. Under the law, the government was given regulatory authority over future investment controls. With a new administration in place, counsel must understand its approach to foreign investment and the CFIUS risk involved, and be prepared to navigate through the CFIUS process.

Listen as our authoritative panel examines the current approach to foreign investment and potential changes to the CFIUS process that the new administration may bring. The panel will discuss investments from China and the CFIUS risk involved, and the increasing CFIUS caseload.
