United States > International Trade > CFIUS
(Hall of Fame)‘One of the clear market leaders in CFIUS’, White & Case LLP’s foreign direct investment reviews and national security practice forms a key part of the firm’s wider international trade offering. Covering the full range of industries, clients and transaction structures, the team’s ability to draw on lawyers with broad in-house government experience ensures it ‘brings a deeper understanding of the background underlying the regulations’. High-profile department head Farhad Jalinous is widely recognized for his ‘deep knowledge of the CFIUS process and stakeholders’; he recently advised UK-based Avast on CFIUS issues related to its approximately $8bn merger with US-based NortonLifeLock. Karalyn Mildorf is an up-and-coming CFIUS specialist with extensive experience in national security reviews before CFIUS as well as foreign ownership, control or influence (FOCI) mitigation matters. The Washington DC-based group also includes Keith Schomig, who specializes in advising on the CFIUS aspects of private-equity investments and large-scale M&A, and counsel Ryan Brady, who formerly served as Deputy General Counsel at the Department of the Treasury. In October 2022, the team was boosted by the arrival of Senior National Security Advisor David Jividen, who joined from the Department of Defense’s Foreign Investment Review office.
