FCPA Compliance Report-Episode 410, Doreen Edelman CFIUS for Compliance Professionals, Part I

The FCPA Compliance Report is the longest running podcast in compliance. In this episode, I visit with Doreen Edelman, partner at Lowenstein Sandler. She is a noted trade law and trade policy expert. Our discuss is around the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States or CFIUS. As foreign direct investment in the U.S. has increased, many members in Congress have become concerned about foreign acquisitions of U.S. manufacturers that are perceived to be essential to U.S. national and economic security. This is the first of a two-part series. In this podcast we discuss: What is the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States or CFIUS?What changed in November with the introduction of the Pilot Program?What are mandatory and voluntary filings?How long does the CIFUS process take?Are they any appeals from a negative decision?How should CIFUS counsel work with transaction counsel?
