Vinson & Elkins’ National Security and International Trade Practice assists U.S. and non-U.S. clients in navigating the US national security laws and regulations and related compliance risks that apply to cross-border transactions. Team members have prior experience working in multiple CFIUS member agencies, the nuclear Navy and other military branches.

V&E’s Export Controls & Economic Sanctions team represents clients in counseling, administrative, litigation, public policy and transactional due diligence issues arising across US, foreign, and international export controls and trade sanctions. 

V&E’s CFIUS team has successfully handled well over 100 transactions filed with CFIUS and has evaluated far more foreign investments for CFIUS considerations. We have advised clients in nearly every industry, including aerospace, defense, automotive, chemicals, energy infrastructure, oil and gas, biotechnology and pharmaceuticals, telecommunications, ports and shipping, and others. Clients have included purchasers, sellers, and minority investors, including private equity firms, foreign government-owned entities, and publicly-traded and private companies. Our CFIUS practitioners have built relationships with CFIUS agencies over many years.

V&E also regularly assists companies with obtaining facility security clearances (FCL) and mitigating foreign ownership, control or influence (FOCI) in order to obtain or maintain a FCL pursuant to applicable national industrial security regulations.
