With a significant increase in the number of regulations impacting M&A transactions in over the last 5 years, keeping abreast of the latest changes and updates is essential for potential deal makers.
Understanding how to navigate the myriad of regulations, at a time where protectionism is at an all-time high, is another key factor in determining the success of a cross-border deal. For investors in China and Overseas, key regulatory approvals include the UK National Security and Investment Act (NSIA), and the Chinese National Security Review (NSR) and other upcoming new regimes.
The British Embassy (Beijing), JunHe and Slaughter and May are delighted to invite you to join us. We provide an overview of the key regimes. This is a unique opportunity to hear directly the perspective of His Majesty’s Government. We hope you are able to join us for the event which will facilitate an insightful discussion into this topic.
