Webcast
The forces that underpinned globalisation and borderless movement of capital have gone into reverse. Governments are increasingly willing to relinquish the benefits of inward investment and global capital in favor of economic nationalism and, as a consequence, detailed scrutiny of foreign investors through the application of national security and FDI laws. How do you successfully navigate this thicket of rules when executing an M&A transaction? Our panel of experts from UK, Germany, Belgium, France, and Spain will discuss:
- The rules, and how they might apply to your deal.
- The impact on cross-border M&A and how the rules operate on a EU level.
- Key areas of risk for both buyers and sellers.
The webcast is essential listening for in-house legal counsel and corporate development teams. Understand how to work with the rules to optimise execution of your transaction.
