Abstract
On August 13th, President Trump signed into law the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 (FIRRMA). FIRRMA overhauls and significantly expands the jurisdiction of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. (CFIUS), which reviews, modifies and has the power to prohibit certain foreign acquisitions and investments in U.S. businesses, including private equity and other fund investments. FIRRMA significantly expands the reach of CFIUS beyond transactions that result in foreign control, gives CFIUS the ability to review a much broader set of industries, and makes the review of certain investments mandatory. The expansion will re-shape the way that private equity transactions will be structured going forward.
