With less than 2 months to go until the UK National Security and Investment (“NSI”) Act comes into force – introducing a new foreign investment screening regime to the UK – we are pleased to be joined by Chris Blairs, Deputy Director at NSI (BEIS), and Daniel McCarthy, Senior Policy Advisor at NSI (BEIS), for a webinar discussion, chaired by Tristan Grimmer, Partner in Baker McKenzie’s International Trade team, on the launch of the UK’s new regime.

Join us on 11 November from 4.00 to 4.45 pm GMT for valuable insights into how the UK Government intends to implement its new investment screening powers, and a Q&A session addressing how clients can best prepare their business for the new regime ahead of it becoming fully operational on 4 January 2022.
