‘The K&S CFIUS practice was very helpful in providing overall context for the process, as this was the first time I had worked through this. It assisted not only in how to structure the transaction to best mitigate the CFIUS timeline, but also helped every step along the way as we received follow-up questions.’
‘Alexis Early and Philip Ludvigson have done a great job building a CFIUS team.’
