Foreign Direct Investment in Germany – Baker McKenzie Podcast in Cooperation with Concurrences

To highlight recent developments in foreign direct investment restrictions in Germany, Baker McKenzie has published a podcast setting out what businesses should be aware of, and what the German regulator will look for. Produced in partnership with Concurrences, our foreign investment experts Samantha Mobley and Anahita Thoms discuss these developments with Angelika Milger, a member of the Investment Screening team at the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs.

This is the first in a series of podcasts we are producing on key jurisdictions, each featuring a discussion with a regulator about trends and practical considerations. To access the podcast, click here.
