Kirkland Seminar

Beyond CFIUS: China, Florida, and the Rise of State-Level Investment Restrictions Webinar

As U.S.-China strategic competition intensifies — and the political stakes grow larger in the run-up to the 2024 U.S. Presidential and Congressional elections — skepticism over Chinese investment in the U.S. has reached well beyond Washington, D.C. In the past few months alone, approximately two dozen U.S. state legislatures have passed or introduced legislation to regulate, restrict and in some cases, prohibit direct and indirect investments from certain countries, like China. In Florida, for example, state investment restrictions have already had significant impacts on deal structuring, certainty and costs, particularly for financial sponsors.

Please join Kirkland partners Mario Mancuso, P.C. and Luci Hague for an executive-level discussion on current and prospective state-level restrictions on foreign investment, including an overview of the current state of play, how investors should think about deal terms and protections and potential future developments.

Please contact Diana Pournas to register for the event by July 24.
