SUMMARY:Webinar: The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) and The Foreign Investment & National Security Act (FINSA): What are They and Their Impact on International Business with the United States
DESCRIPTION:The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”) is an interagency committee authorized to review certain transactions involving foreign investment in the United States and certain real estate transactions by foreign persons\, in order to determine the effect of such transactions on the national security of the U.S. CFIUS operates pursuant to section 721 of the Defense Production Act of 1950. The authority of the President to suspend or prohibit certain transactions was created through the 1988 Exon-Floria Amendment and has been revised by subsequent regulations. \nThe regulations governing the CFIUS review process are codified at 31 C.F.R. Chapter VIII. Effective February 13\, 2020\, changes to CFIUS’s jurisdiction and process were implemented which affect the access\, rights or involvement of foreign persons to U.S. businesses. CFIUS operates pursuant to section 721 of the Defense Production Act of 1950. \nThis webinar will address the events which led to the formation of CFIUS\, how it works\, and how to balance national security and business interests. The webinar will also address new challenges posed to CFIUS\, including recent changes to CFIUS’s jurisdiction and process\, the effect of new economic treaties\, issues with the People’s Republic of China and the European Union\, and the effects of COVID-19 on CFIUS decision-making. \nPresented by the FBA International Law Section \nOnline registration for this event is now closed.
