The US Department of the Treasury has published final regulations implementing the long-discussed US outbound foreign investment program; these rules will take effect on January 2, 2025. Although the program nominally focuses on US investments in Chinese entities, the scope of the regulations is much broader, and can include transactions in which neither party is from the United States or China. The regulations therefore merit attention from prospective investors and investment targets worldwide. Linklaters' Head of US Foreign Investment Jonathan Gafni and associates Anna Gooding and Ray Tang Hou break down what you need to know in our latest ForeignInvestmentLinks blog post: https://lnkd.in/eA8R8kmJ.   #cfius #treasury #foreigninvestment #China #foreigninvestment #nationalsecurity #UnitedStates

As of January 1, 2024, the Corporate Transparency Act and its implementing regulations enacted by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network began its first year of implementation. The CTA’s beneficial ownership reporting obligations apply to “reporting companies,” which are U.S. corporations, limited liability companies, any entities that were created by the filing of a document with a secretary of state, or foreign entities registered to do business in the United States through the same means. Unless one of the 23 available exemptions apply, a reporting company is required to report to FinCEN information about: (i) the company, (ii) its beneficial owners and, for entities created after January 1, 2024, (iii) its “company applicants.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/effztY2d.

We are proud to be recognized with the outstanding pro bono impact partner award from the National Women's Law Center at its 2024 Gala in Washington, D.C.

Pam Shores, Global Head of US Capital Markets, Global Co-Head of Equity Capital Markets, and member of NWLC’s Leadership Advisory Committee said: “Linklaters’ pro bono partnership with the Law Center allows us to demonstrate our values through action. We have been able to go far beyond releasing a statement or posting values on our website. Our work with the Law Center says, very loudly, that we value equality, equity, inclusivity and justice.
