Our Practice
Our Foreign Direct Investment practice helps businesses overcome their most complex foreign investment regulatory hurdles efficiently and with the benefit of our lawyers’ deep insights into both FDI law and the substance of national security. The team leverages unmatched knowledge of trade, geopolitical and foreign affairs issues impacting domestic FDI regimes to provide tailored, commercial advice, drawing on the experience of colleagues who formerly had national security responsibilities within government and Parliament.
In close coordination with our leading National Security, CFIUS & FARA group, we represent clients before CFIUS, the UK’s Investment Security Unit and the European Commission. We also offer an established Europe- and Asia/Pacific-wide network of top-tier FDI partner firms and FDI specialists, ensuring seamless and efficient advice outside of Europe and the United States.
Our FDI experience spans all sensitive sectors, including the life sciences, semiconductor, information technology, defense, energy, infrastructure, mining, ESG, traditional finance, fintech, AI and blockchain sectors, among other critical industries in regulators’ crosshairs.
