Katrien Vorlat speaker at ABA session 16 April 2026 - “Navigating CFIUS, the Foreign Investment Gatekeeper”

At the ABA Business Law Spring Meeting 2026 in Atlanta, our Corporate and M&A Partner Katrien Vorlat will speak during the session “Navigating CFIUS, the Foreign Investment Gatekeeper”

Chaired by Jaipat Singh Jain and featuring Robert Slack, Seth Cowell and Eric Kadel, this panel brings together experienced practitioners to discuss how foreign investment screening is reshaping cross-border acquisitions.

As governments continue to welcome international investment while tightening public order and national security concerns, regulatory review has become a decisive factor in deal execution. The discussion will highlight why early attention to foreign investment review now directly impacts contract drafting, timelines, deal structure and, ultimately, deal success. What was once optional is quickly becoming critical to getting deals across the finish line.

Please join us on Thursday, April 16, 2026, at 8:00 AM (ET) at the Hilton in Atlanta, GA.
