2022 was a year of sustained growth in CFIUS developments, from the first Executive Order involving CFIUS foreign investment reviews since 1975, to an increasingly active Committee, especially in connection with China-related investments.
This webinar will provide an overview of CFIUS authorities, take a deeper dive into the types of national security risk that CFIUS will focus on in 2023, and answer the important questions: is CFIUS still relevant in a time of slowing M&A activity, and will all Chinese investments be stopped by CFIUS?
