BRG’s CFIUS Capabilities
The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), an interagency committee under the direction of the US Department of the Treasury, presents a unique set of challenges for foreign investors seeking to invest in the US and US firms looking to attract capital from foreign sources. CFIUS’s operations are guided by the implementation of the 2018 Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act (FIRRMA).
CFIUS addresses US national security concerns around foreign parties’ involvement in certain types of investment transactions. Driven by the potential for unwanted foreign control of, or access to, critical US technology and infrastructure, these concerns must be identified in the early stages of the transaction, addressed in the terms setting out the structure of the transaction, and in some cases mitigated with US government-required compliance audits and/or monitors.
US and non-US corporates, banks, private equity firms, institutional investors, law firms, strategic communications companies, and government agencies from around the world—in both advanced countries and emerging markets—seek out BRG’s CFIUS experts to help design and execute cross-sectoral strategies to navigate and manage business opportunities and risks associated with the CFIUS decision-making process.
