The world is changing: prompted and accelerated by a host of geopolitical factors, governments are becoming increasingly vigilant about national security concerns related to foreign investments. Many European countries recently introduced screening laws or intensified the use of existing mechanisms. Today, 1 June 2023, the general Dutch FDI regime entered into force, following the adoption of the last components of the Wet VIFO package (Wet veiligheidstoets investeringen, fusies en overnames or the Investments, Mergers and Acquisitions Security Screening Act).

During this Master Class, Stephanie The and Arne Grimme will explore the challenges and opportunities of foreign direct investment in Europe and in the Netherlands, share latest insights and best practices for coordinating multi-stakeholder interests in investment screenings, and discuss how to best navigate foreign investment laws in M&A transactions.
