A new guide on how to navigate an investment or acquisition in sensitive industries or companies in the US, past the bureaucratic obstacles and hidden pitfalls to a successful conclusion.
CFIUS, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, is authorised to review any transaction that may result in foreign control of a US company.
CFIUS has the power to unwind a deal – so if you’re planning an investment or acquisition in a US?company which could be considered impacting US?national security, it’s important that you’re well prepared.
Recently, attention has focused sharply on FIRRMA, The Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act, signed into law on 13 August 2018. This expanded the scope of CFIUS jurisdiction beyond transactions in which a foreign company takes control of a US business.
