Cooley LLP’s CFIUS practice is praised for its ‘deep experience practicing before CFIUS, including in difficult circumstances that call for mitigation’. Indeed, the group’s enforcement activity continues to grow and it was involved in a string of mitigation negotiations over the past year. Primarily recognized for its dominant offering in technology-related transactions, the team is also handling a growing share of reviews in connected industries, including aerospace, financial services and biotech. Christopher Kimball co-chairs the Washington-based practice and is sought after for his specialist expertise in security reviews concerning the technology and financial services spheres. Kevin King co-heads the export controls and sanctions practice as well as the CFIUS group, and brings to bear broad national security experience. Other key contacts include special counsel Dillon Martinson, who is a former senior policy advisor at the USDT; and associate Sarah Oliai, who is a ’phenomenal support’.
