The regulatory environment in which investors and multinational corporations operate is more complex and volatile than ever. Navigating the rapidly evolving foreign investment laws requires an experienced, strategic and co-ordinated approach.

At Freshfields, we have a highly integrated team of specialists who combine world-class expertise with the most current insights into rapidly evolving foreign investment reviews.
