These include cross-border investments and transactions, national security- and public policy-based regulation of international transactions, the implementation and sale of novel or sensitive technological capabilities, navigation of conflicting cross-jurisdictional demands, resolution of government investigations, and more. Freshfields clients look to us to advise on their company-transformative challenges and opportunities that demand deep insight, creative problem solving, and absolute precision.

Freshfields has expertise to advise and represent companies that develop advanced technologies, are data intensive, own or operate infrastructure, or are in the defense and national security industries.
