You can’t turn the corner these days without hearing about CFIUS (The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States), tariffs, and the trade war, all of which have increased deal scrutiny, raising the stakes for careful management of cross-border transactions. Join The Rock Center for Corporate Governance and SVDX for a panel discussion of the most challenging issues that companies and investors will face in navigating the ever-changing regulatory framework and employing the latest strategies in mitigating risk. The expert panelists will address burning questions, including:

How and why has the regulatory landscape evolved so significantly in the last few years?
How can companies best structure M&A transactions and investments with Chinese investors?
How will FIRMMA’s rules on minority stakes affect the landscape?
What should companies be thinking about proactively to avoid getting caught in the regulatory web going forward?
Which industries will win and which ones will lose?
How can you protect your company while still focusing on growth?
What are some solutions that in-house counsel and investors have put in place recently to push their transactions forward?
How will tariffs impact a company’s supply chain? What are the trends we are seeing with respect to importing components?
What are the best practices and how to stay current in the ever-changing landscape?
