About the Book
With businesses increasingly required to engage with investment screening regimes when planning transactions, this sixth edition of ICLG – Foreign Direct Investment Regimes covers 30 key jurisdictions worldwide. The guide sees leading practitioners sharing their expertise, providing valuable insights into the legal issues underlying each regime, as well as the practicalities relevant to seeking to secure timely clearances. In addition, the accessible Q&A format enables quick comparisons to be made between regimes, which is ever more relevant as growing numbers of cross-border deals face investment screening in more than one jurisdiction. We take this opportunity to thank each author for their contribution to this sixth edition. We are delighted to be associated with such a knowledgeable group of experts. Our thanks are also due to the team at GLG for all of their support and assistance in the production of the guide.
It has been a pleasure to act as Contributing Editors of this edition, and we very much hope that this latest addition to the series provides a meaningful point of reference for parties when planning investments.
