Our timing is different.

Why wait until the government is interested in your foreign investors? We give you advice about foreign investors as close to deal origination as possible, whether you are a start-up or corporate entity, or any other organization weighing risks associated with foreign investors. By focusing on providing advice at the earliest stages of deal making, we help you anticipate national security concerns long before they become deal obstacles in a potential government review.  

Since our focus is helping you anticipate the national security concerns at the outset, our advice focuses uniquely on the “intelligence” questions on how an adversary might use an investment to threaten US and allied national security interests.  After all, it is these questions that are the point of departure for government policy deliberations on risks arising from foreign investment.

The pre-legal insights and advice we provide comes from a unique corner of the government—former intelligence officials who spent their decades-long careers uniquely supporting government economic policy and national security decision making, and who built and led the IC’s foreign investment screening, and economic security and financial intelligence efforts.

As former senior intelligence officials, we built our careers around providing quiet and discreet advice as required by law to senior customers in the White House, across the Executive Branch, to Congress, and the private sector.  The advice we give you—whether strategic or tactical—will not become fodder for traditional or social media.
