This CLE course will guide counsel to U.S. and non-U.S. businesses considering and that have completed cross-border transactions with a particular focus on the CFIUS process as it relates to non-notified transactions. The panel will examine what is happening and what has changed with respect to non-notified transactions and its impact on transaction risks, what the process looks like and how to effectively manage it, and what all of this ultimately means for transaction parties.

Description

The Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 (FIRRMA) sought to fill gaps in the CFIUS review regime and made numerous changes to the CFIUS process, including through a significant increase in resources allocated for monitoring and enforcement and the establishment of a formal process to identify transactions that are not notified to the Committee (i.e., "non-notified transactions"). CFIUS' efforts to identify and review non-notified transactions, including long-closed deals, have increased substantially and present new considerations for parties in cross-border transactions.

Listen as our authoritative panel of CFIUS experts discusses CFIUS outreach to parties regarding non-notified transactions, key strategic considerations, and how to navigate the non-notified process. The panel will examine recent CFIUS scrutiny of non-notified transactions and offer best practices for managing the non-notified process and the increased risk for transaction parties.
