Marc Israel of White & Case discusses the UK's new 'voluntary' powers on FDI intervention

On June 23rd, UK Business Secretary Alok Sharma announced that "the UK is open for investment, but not for exploitation", bringing in more powers to intervene in foreign dealmaking.

Marc Israel, a partner with law firm White & Case, connects from London to discuss for the fifth episode of Fortress FDI, our mini-series about rising investment scrutiny and protectionism.
