Foreign Direct Investment / National Security

Our national security lawyers are on hand to guide you through the new processes, and make sure that your domestic and international transactions – including foreign direct investment – remain compliant with these new rules. 

This is particularly important considering the scope of investments that regulators now have the authority and responsibility to scrutinise. Investments between businesses in seventeen specified sectors (including defence, energy, and various technologies) fall under the new criteria – and we can help you to understand your new obligations. 

This includes end-to-end support, from advising on when filings are required, to preparing and handling filings to completion. Outside of the UK, we can act as your dedicated foreign direct investment law firm. Where required, this may involve working with our international network of law firms to obtain clearance.
