CFIUS Transaction Strategy Services

While CFIUS was once seen as largely a legal matter, this is no longer the case. BRG’s veteran interdisciplinary CFIUS team, unlike some CFIUS advisors, provides to clients integrated strategic and operational pre- and post transaction CFIUS services. BRG’s experts have a unique perspective on the CFIUS process, having participated in authoring key CFIUS-related legislation while working on Capitol Hill, served on CFIUS during their tenure in the White House, developed intelligence assessment processes to support CFIUS decision makers while serving in the intelligence community, authored and reviewed several hundred CFIUS intelligence assessments, and served as CFIUS third-party monitors (TPMs) and compliance auditors. BRG’s CFIUS team also has significant hands-on experience structuring complex international business transactions, involving investors from not only advanced countries but also the emerging markets that have been the main sources of deals reviewed by CFIUS in recent years.

Our CFIUS team leverages BRG’s cybersecurity, information technology, and data privacy professionals, as well as BRG’s deep expertise in corporate governance, compliance and risk management, corporate intelligence and due diligence, turnaround and restructuring, bankruptcy, capital markets, and investment banking. The CFIUS team also draws on BRG’s extensive industry-specific knowledge of the technology, manufacturing, healthcare, infrastructure, energy, financial services, private equity, and telecom, media, and entertainment sectors—all industries in which transactions could be subject to CFIUS review.
