Hogan Lovells contributes to the GCR Foreign Direct Investment Regulation Guide

23 December 2021

The first edition of the Foreign Direct Investment Regulation Guide published by Global Competition Review (GCR) has just been released. The Foreign Direct Investment Regulation Guide provides practical and timely guidance for both practitioners and enforcers trying to navigate this fast-moving environment. Hogan Lovells has contributed the chapters with the analysis of key foreign investment jurisdictions such as Brazil, Mexico and Spain.

While the appetite – and necessity – for outside capital remains unabated, increasingly this is running into national security concerns, as well as stricter regulations on mergers. Although controls on foreign direct investment were already in place before covid-19, the pandemic and a growing shift towards protectionist economic policies have brought these concerns into sharper focus for governments.

The Foreign Direct Investment Regulation Guide provides practical and timely guidance for both practitioners and enforcers trying to navigate this fast-moving environment. The Guide draws on the wisdom and expertise of distinguished practitioners globally to provide essential guidance on subjects as diverse as the evolving perspective on deals with China to the changing face of national security.

Our team at Hogan Lovells contributed the chapters with the analysis of the relevant foreign direct investment regimes in Brazil, Mexico and Spain.
