Global Politics and the Law: Navigating Your Business through the Ever-Changing World of Sanctions and Foreign Direct Investment Screening

• Tuesday, June 13, 2023 - Thursday, June 15, 2023

Please join us for a series of Breakfast Briefings in Copenhagen, Helsinki, and Stockholm on "Global Politics and the Law: Navigating Your Business through the Ever-Changing World of Sanctions and Foreign Direct Investment Screening.

Geopolitically-driven and rapidly changing trade sanctions, export controls, and new foreign direct investment (FDI) screening regimes are impacting companies’ ability to do business and pursue growth strategies. In the face of these regimes being imposed and aggressively enforced by regulators around the world, businesses should position themselves to quickly adapt to achieve their global operating and growth strategies.

Please join us for a free interactive breakfast briefing where Covington’s industry-leading (Chambers Band 1) Sanctions & Export Controls and CFIUS/FDI teams will discuss recent trends and developments, and the art of navigating your business through our increasingly regulated world.

Topics:

• Global trends in FDI/CFIUS and their impact in deal-making.
• Collaboration between U.S. and European regulators on FDI screening.
• Developments in outbound investment screening.
• Overview of recent developments regarding Russia, China, and broader international sanctions.
• Best practices in planning for M&A transactions and mitigating risk related to China.
• EU Foreign Subsidies Regulation and what it means for companies.

There will be opportunities to ask questions throughout the event, but please feel free to submit questions in advance on the registration page.
