Competitive Edge – The Podcast Episode 12: Foreign Direct Investment

In this episode, Tenisha Cramer (associate, UK), Tialda Beetstra (senior associate, Netherlands) and Tamy Tietze (associate, Germany) explore the topic of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and cross-border internal reorganisations. They discuss: • Fundamentals of FDI and how it works across jurisdictions • The Dutch Vifo Act and UK National Security and Investment Act frameworks, including their notification thresholds and review timelines • Practical insights gained from recent experience advising on multi-jurisdictional transactions involving technology sector clients. The conversation covers essential strategies for early assessment and due diligence, and highlights how internal reorganisations can trigger FDI requirements just like external acquisitions, making regulatory compliance crucial for all corporate restructuring activities. The interview is conducted by our solicitor apprentice in London, Flora McCarthy.
