Updated Foreign Direct Investment Compliance Guidance Released for Cross-Border Transactions
In-house counsel overseeing cross-border corporate investments and acquisitions must review updated foreign direct investment regulatory requirements to avoid compliance penalties and deal delays.
A new Jones Day client alert details recent changes to foreign direct investment regulatory requirements across major global jurisdictions. The guidance covers revised transaction screening processes, updated ownership disclosure mandates, and adjusted national security review thresholds for both inbound and outbound cross-border deals. In-house counsel should use the alert to update their organization’s due diligence checklists and post-closing compliance frameworks, mitigating risk of transaction delays, deal blockage, or enforcement penalties for non-compliance with current rules.
