FDI & Investment Screening
Kesarev provides non-transactional political, public-policy and institutional risk analysis concerning foreign direct investment screening mechanisms, national security reviews and other regulatory processes affecting cross-border investments in strategically sensitive sectors. Kesarev does not act as a transaction intermediary or provide investment services through this practice.
As governments expand investment control regimes and strengthen scrutiny of foreign ownership, transactions increasingly face political, regulatory and geopolitical challenges beyond traditional legal and commercial considerations. We help clients assess exposure, navigate regulatory review processes and engage effectively with relevant authorities and stakeholders.
