Partner Eric McClafferty and trade analyst, Wyatt Mince, co-authored the World Pumps Magazine article “Regulatory Issues When Acquiring U.S. Pump Companies.” When a non-U.S. pump company is buying a U.S. pump company, the proposed acquisition may need to be reviewed by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS).
