Major multinational corporations receive advice on cross-border investment filings to BEA

Client(s) Major multinational corporations, private equity firms, and strategic acquirors

Jones Day advised major multinational corporations, private equity firms, and strategic acquirors on the filing requirements and analysis of submission data for the cross-border direct investment surveys administered by the Bureau of Economic Analysis ("BEA"). In particular, the Firm alerted its clients of change in the regulations that made certain filings mandatory--a significant departure from the BEA's standard practice of requiring submissions only when selected and notified--and advocated for across-the-board extensions for filing the BE-10 survey of U.S. direct investment abroad, which the BEA granted.
