Join our Foreign Investment Review Talks series on the hot topics and latest developments in the dynamic area of foreign (direct) investment review across various jurisdictions.

As national security and supply chain security are focal points of economic policy, foreign investment is under continued and increased scrutiny by governments around the world. A very high number of jurisdictions introduced or strengthened foreign investment review in the past few years. Beyond military and defense, critical infrastructure and advanced/sensitive technologies are now the focus of attention.

Violations of foreign investment review rules, such as the failure to notify a transaction or "gun-jumping", can have drastic consequences, including transactions being void, severe fines and even criminal liability. Foreign investment review thus needs to be on the checklist for every corporate/M&A deal.

With our Foreign Investment Review Talks series you will gain a fresh perspective on the diverse foreign investment review regimes around the globe and learn about hot topics in this field, all from Dentons lawyers who are uniquely equipped to help you navigate this complex and dynamic environment with confidence.
