The number of Foreign direct investment (FDI) regimes has significantly increased in recent years, becoming broader in terms of scope and no longer solely applying to investments relating to national security and defence.
Countries are expanding regimes to include advanced technologies, and a broad range of activities relating to critical infrastructure and inputs. The trend for more FDI regulation has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, with governments concerned that critical national companies are becoming more vulnerable to foreign acquisition.
During our webinar we look at:
- the drivers for recent regime changes in the UK and Europe
- the nature of the qualifying entities and assets likely to be scrutinised
- how to navigate the potential for political interference in M&A processes.
Our international speakers also cover mandatory notifications, voluntary notification systems, call in powers, sanctions and remedies.
