Join us for this second webinar in our series aimed at exploring best practices in mergers & acquisitions involving government contractors. In this webinar, we will focus on national security-related issues and risks impacting transactions involving government contractors. Topics will include:

  • Due diligence risk areas, including facility and personnel clearances, supply chain security, cybersecurity, export controls, and economic and trade sanctions
  • Considerations for integration, including national security-related notices, consents, and approvals

The impact of foreign ownership and foreign investment and related considerations (e.g., national security reviews by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. and FOCI mitigation by the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency)
