To help clients effectively address the challenges involved in achieving compliance with the ever-increasing variety of regulatory requirements, we invite you to join us for a new webinar series. Each one-hour program will offer practical guidance from our experts pertaining to one of today’s most pressing regulatory issues.

The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) has become a significant regulator not only of large M&A transactions, as it was in the past, but also private equity transactions and small venture investments.  CFIUS reviews foreign investments for national security implications, and the Committee has nearly completed a two-year process of implementing legislation—the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act (FIRRMA) – that has transformed CFIUS into a regulatory hurdle for a broad range of transactions. Topics include:

• The current state of FIRRMA implementation, particularly the set of rules that became effective in February 2020
• The subsequent implementation of CFIUS filing fee rules
• Recent tweaks to the mandatory CFIUS filing rules
• Strategies for navigating CFIUS
• Developments in the nascent CFIUS enforcement landscape, which promises to be the area of greatest development over the next couple years.
