Our Services for Foreign Investors Pursuing Interests in the U.S.
Foreign nationals, corporations, investment funds, and other entities seeking to invest in the United States must comply with a complex array of federal laws, rules, and regulations. Domestic entities that accept foreign investments must comply with these sources of authority as well, and non-compliance can lead to fines, sanctions, and other economic consequences.
At Oberheiden P.C., we advise and represent foreign investors regarding all facets of compliance and risk management. We help our clients make informed and strategic decisions, and we help our clients take a proactive approach to compliance focused on ensuring that unexpected legal threats do not jeopardize their U.S. investment opportunities. This includes everything from conducting due diligence on potential U.S. partners and assets to documenting compliance with all pertinent federal requirements. Some examples of federal compliance concerns in this area include:
- Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act (AFIDA) compliance
- Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) compliance
- Executive Order (EO) 11858 compliance
- Foreign Investment and National Security Act (FINSA) compliance
- Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act (FIRRMA) compliance
- Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) compliance
- Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) compliance
Again, these are just examples. Numerous other sources of federal authority may be implicated in a foreign investment on U.S. soil as well—including sources of authority that apply to investments in specific types of assets and in specific industries. As your U.S. investment counsel, we can help ensure that you have a comprehensive understanding of all pertinent legal considerations before you commit to moving forward.
