Foreign Investment and National Security

We not only interact with the CFIUS staff and participate in the formal review process, but also provide guidance on structuring transactions so as to avoid foreign control for CFIUS jurisdictional purposes; assess the national security implications of a transaction; provide advice on determining whether or not to file with CFIUS; formulate regulatory and political strategies; engage with stakeholder agencies before and after filing; negotiate Special Security Agreements and National Security Agreements in obtaining clearance from the Defense Security Service (DSS); and coordinate 60-day prior notifications to the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls for ITAR-registered companies.
