On March 11, 2025, Foreign Investment Watch named Wilson Sonsini partners Joshua Gruenspecht and Stephen Heifetz to its “Top Advisors 2025” list, recognizing top advisors who provide advice and counsel concerning foreign investment and national security in the U.S. and abroad. Josh and Stephen are among the 40 individuals selected to the list, and their accompanying profiles describe the depth of their practices and expertise.

Josh is noted for his involvement in some of the most high-profile cases before CFIUS, including transactions involving Broadcom, Sprint, and the Nokia-Alcatel-Lucent deal, and sources describe him as “the most detail-oriented national security lawyer practicing today.”

Stephen is recognized for making "CFIUS-watching more fun and entertaining." He has been involved in more than 1,000 CFIUS matters and serves as CFIUS counsel for the National Venture Capital Association.

The rankings are based on myriad criteria including experience, reputation, clients served, first-person interviews, references, reader recommendations, articles published, and one-to-one interactions with Foreign Investment Watch’s editorial team.
