Akin Gump international trade partner Christian Davis, along with associates Thor Petersen, Michael Adame and Cameron Peek, have written the article “What’s Changed And What’s The Same In Final CFIUS Rules,” which was published by Law360. The article discusses long-awaited rules from the federal government pertaining to national security reviews of foreign investments in U.S. companies.
The authors write the final rules implement the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act, which reforms the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). In addition to expanding to expanding the committee’s jurisdiction and implementing mandatory reporting requirements for certain foreign government-affiliated transactions, the rules also maintain “a modified version of the pilot program requiring mandatory filing requirements for certain investments involving critical technologies, and revise and clarify a number of provisions included in the proposed rules from September 2019.”
As a result of the changes, the article says that CFIUS “is on course to continue to be a key issue in variety of transactions going forward.”
