Independent law firms network Lex Mundi has launched a tool to help in-house counsel navigate and anticipate regime changes and foreign investment restrictions overseas

The Global Foreign Investment Restrictions Guide allows users to compare and contrast 55 jurisdictions around the world, covering thresholds and notifications, sectors subject to restrictions, the extent and impact of COVID-19 restrictions and predicted regulatory developments. Users can select a single jurisdiction or compare multiple jurisdictions in a side-by-side report.

Lauren Smith, head of global practice groups at Lex Mundi, said: ‘In today’s ever-changing global market, it is increasingly common for cross-border investments and acquisitions to trigger foreign investment restriction screening requirements.’ The guide draws on the expertise of Lex Mundi’s more than 50 law firm members to provide practical guidance on navigating foreign investment restriction regimes.
