Davis Polk partner and national security practice head Paul Marquardt was profiled by Financier Worldwide as part of the publication’s “Power Players: Foreign Investment & National Security” issue. In the Q&A, Paul reflected on standout moments in his career, the philosophies that guide his work and how to stay ahead in a quickly evolving field.

“As overlapping regulatory regimes proliferate, such as outbound investment review, the data security program, Information and Communications Technology and Services, and so on … the overall environment inevitably becomes more complex,” Paul said. “Synthesizing a range of political and regulatory perspectives and considerations into a comprehensive strategy to achieve the client’s goals is one of the most rewarding parts of our practice.”
