National security screening of foreign direct investment (FDI) is becoming more prevalent and stringent globally, playing a critical role in cross-border transactions. Without a proper strategy at the start of a transaction, FDI review can become a deal breaker or expose transactions to legal challenges, extended timelines and increased costs. As a law firm with a leading foreign direct investment practice in the Baltic region, we ensure that advanced planning helps avoid unexpected surprises. 

With an integrated team of leading experts, we provide our clients with critical insights, advice, and representation to enable them to navigate this increasingly complex regulatory landscape. Our dedicated team of FDI screening lawyers work seamlessly with our leading competition law and sector-specific regulatory teams, enabling us to coordinate FDI, merger control and other regulatory notifications in an integrated, efficient manner and based on one stop shop principle. Whether you are considering a strategic acquisition, joint venture, or divestment, our foreign direct investment legal services provide comprehensive support, from initial consultation to full implementation and representation before local authorities. 

Our experts have a deep knowledge of the legal framework of each Baltic country and vast experience in representing foreign investors’ interests before governments and local authorities. As a trusted legal partner for international investors and multinational corporations, our team of foreign direct investment lawyers offers expert guidance on navigating the regulatory environment for investments into strategic industries. Constant communication with key public authorities allows us to provide precise guidance, anticipate regulatory expectations and streamline the FDI filing process.
