The Impact of Foreign Investment Regimes on Private equity

The Impact of Foreign Investment Regimes on Private equity

February 09, 2022

The last few years have seen increased protectionism, with key jurisdictions introducing or expanding their foreign investment/national security regimes to ‘protect’ strategic assets. Covering a broad range of sectors, regimes such as CFIUS and the UK NSI Act are now a common feature of deal-making.

Our global team take you through key considerations, what to take into account when planning and how the regimes may impact your strategies and transactions. We will bring this to life with practical insights and case studies.

The team discuss:

  • an overview of current global regimes and the global expansion
  • the types of deals and sectors in scope, as well as relevant thresholds
  • the effect on timelines
  • remedies and sanctions
  • the impact on Private Equity deals and investment strategies
  • audience Q&A
