Webinar: The new UK Foreign Investment Regime: Everything you need to know

The UK’s foreign investment landscape is heading for a complete overhaul. On 11 November 2020, the UK Government introduced a new law that significantly expands its powers to review transactions on national security grounds, in line with global trends of increasing regulatory scrutiny of incoming foreign investments.

Baker McKenzie has analysed the new law and regulatory impact for businesses in detail so that you don’t have to. Join our UK foreign investment experts Samantha Mobley, Sunny Mann and Tristan Grimmer on Wednesday 02 December 2020 at 2 pm GMT for an update on everything you need to know about the new rules:

  • Criteria for a mandatory national security filing in 17 key industry sectors
  • When should you be considering a voluntary notification for your transaction
  • Risks of not filing
  • Impact on transactions that complete before the new law comes into force
