In the second of our new quarterly series, partner Alastair Mordaunt is joined by UK partner Michele Davis, US CFIUS practitioner Christine Laciak and EU FDI practitioner Aude Guyon to discuss developments in foreign investment.

How will the UK’s new National Security and Investment Act impact companies when it comes into force? How are priorities shifting under President Biden, and how is CFIUS continuing to shape US investments? Nine months into the EU’s new FDI screening regime, how are FDI reviews being conducted and what are individual EU countries doing? And what should businesses think about when it comes to the practical applications of all these different screening regulations?
