In addition, Wynn assists clients with concerns regarding U.S. national security-based foreign investment restrictions administered by CFIUS. His experience includes extensive work on corporate transactions, provision of strategic business risk advisory counseling to U.S. and non-U.S.-based companies, and sovereign advisory services.
