CFIUS Issues Final Regulations Under FIRRMA: Healthcare Industry

On January 13, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) published the final rules implementing the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act (FIRRMA). FIRRMA ushered in substantial changes and expanded the scope of CFIUS and its impact on foreign investment in the United States. The new rules, effective February 13, make permanent the proposed regulations published in September 2019 and will likely have wide-ranging implications for foreign investment in the healthcare industry, particularly from the new focus on access to “sensitive private data” of the US business from investments.

Join partners from the Morgan Lewis CFIUS Working Group for two webinars where we will outline key changes from the September 2019 proposed regulations and the anticipated impact on cross-border investments. The first webinar will be geared toward CFIUS for foreign entities and the second toward CFIUS for domestic entities.
