Foreign investment can create significant opportunities for U.S. businesses, but it can also trigger federal national security review. The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) has broad authority to review certain transactions involving foreign investment in U.S. businesses, as well as certain real estate transactions, to identify and address potential national security risks.

While much of the CFIUS process remains voluntary, mandatory filing requirements apply to certain transactions. Diaz Trade Law is hosting a free introductory webinar breaking down the CFIUS framework, when companies need to pay attention, and the practical considerations businesses and investors should understand before moving forward with a transaction.

During this FREE webinar, Diaz Trade Law will discuss:

• What CFIUS is, how it works, and the Committee’s role in reviewing foreign investment
• What types of transactions may fall within CFIUS jurisdiction
• Which industries, technologies, investments, and business activities may warrant closer CFIUS scrutiny
• Critical technologies, critical infrastructure, and sensitive personal data
• When a CFIUS filing is voluntary and when a mandatory declaration may be required
• What information companies should be prepared to disclose about the transaction
• How export-control classifications and critical-technology considerations can affect the CFIUS analysis
• Key CFIUS timelines
• Potential outcomes of CFIUS review
• Practical steps companies can take to identify CFIUS issues early and prepare for the review process
• The future of the Committee’s posture on greenfield investments in AI and real estate
