Publication excerpt
"With businesses increasingly required to engage with investment screening regimes when planning transactions, this sixth edition of ICLG – Foreign Direct Investment Regimes covers 30 key jurisdictions worldwide.
The guide sees leading practitioners sharing their expertise, providing valuable insights into the legal issues underlying each regime, as well as the practicalities relevant to seeking to secure timely clearances.
In addition, the accessible Q&A format enables quick comparisons to be made between regimes, which is ever more relevant as growing numbers of cross-border deals face investment screening in more than one jurisdiction."
