- Restructurings
- Customs/import compliance
- Project financings
- Management buyouts
We also have experience in advising on issues that may arise during the acquisition of a U.S. business by a foreign person, including national security reviews under Exon-Florio by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) and foreign ownership, control or influence (FOCI) mitigation of classified businesses by the Defense Security Service.
