Germany’s New Foreign Investment Review Regime and Its Effect on M&A

The German government has scrutinized over 50 investments in German companies since the adoption of a stricter foreign investment review mechanism last year. Reviews concern not only investments in industries that traditionally raise national security concerns. The German government is now interpreting its existing national security standards more broadly.

For companies doing deals in Germany, there is now an increased risk of lengthy review proceedings, Referentobligations being imposed or even deals getting blocked.

Our webinar will discuss recent developments and ways to identify and mitigate potential risks.

Join us for a webinar with Daniel Wiedmann, who has advised on some of the most prominent proceedings in this area.
