We have decades of experience guiding global companies through cross-border investment reviews with practical, commercially minded advice.
Our global team has decades of experience in cutting-edge private sector and government roles. We are commercial lawyers first and foremost, closely integrated with Davis Polk’s market-leading transactional teams to find pragmatic solutions that address both business and public policy concerns.
Our lawyers represent clients across industries and geographies before the Committee on Foreign Investments in the United States (CFIUS), the U.K. Investment Security Unit, the foreign direct investment (FDI) authorities of the EU Member States and other international FDI authorities (ourselves or with trusted local counsel). We take responsibility for managing FDI reviews as part of an integrated global process that addresses national security, competition and foreign subsidy considerations.
Our lawyers are also thought leaders on emerging economic security issues, including outbound investment regulations, restrictions on sensitive data and sector-specific investment restrictions.
