CFIUS in Focus: Understanding the Past, Preparing for the Future

As the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) approaches its 50th anniversary in 2025, Holland & Knight’s CFIUS and Industrial Security Team has embarked on an insightful four-part event series. The first session, held three weeks ago, delved into the intricacies of CFIUS’s role in safeguarding national security through the lens of past major transactions.

Panelists, including esteemed attorneys Robert Friedman and Antonia Tzinova, shared their expertise on seminal cases that have shaped the landscape of foreign investment in critical sectors such as technologies, infrastructure, and sensitive personal data. A focal point of discussion was the strategic use of jurisdiction over real estate transactions to manage specific greenfield investments.

The event not only highlighted the historical lessons learned from these pivotal cases but also provided a platform for contemplating the future trajectory of CFIUS in an ever-evolving global landscape. With national security concerns at the forefront, understanding CFIUS’s past decisions offers valuable insights into what lies ahead.
