The global investment landscape is set to change rapidly in the coming months and years, with insolvencies, consolidation, and mergers and acquisitions being the inevitable consequence of the current public health and economic crisis.
During this time of change, foreign investments into the United States will remain subject to the requirements of CFIUS, whose jurisdictional reach was expanded in February.
Topics for Discussion:
- Overview of February 2020 CFIUS regulations

- Application of CFIUS to essential services and technologies highlighted by the recent global health crisis
