CFIUS and National Security Reviews – As seen in the Nippon Steel case, the importance
of the laws and regulations protecting national security of the United States are rapidly
evolving and affecting Japanese companies participating in US M&A and investment
activities. Rick Sofield, a Debevoise lawyer with nearly 25 years of previous experience
working for the federal government in a variety of national security roles, including ten years
as a member of CFIUS (the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, which
reviews M&As from the national security perspective) and as the Chair of Team Telecom
(which reviews foreign ownership of telecommunication and broadcasting businesses), will
discuss recent developments related to CFIUS, Team Telecom, and Foreign Ownership
Control or Influence (FOCI) national security reviews as well as expectations regarding
compliance and enforcement activities, based on his experiences and publicly-available
examples.
Trade Regulations – In the current international environment with the Russian invasion of
Ukraine, tensions between various countries in Asia involving China, etc., trade compliance,
including sanctions, export controls and supply chain issues, has taken on new importance.
Japanese companies are required to navigate through various jurisdictionsʼ trade laws and
regulations. Debevoise lawyers will review recent and potential US and global trade
compliance developments and discuss related implications for Japanese companies, based
on their intensive experience of advising financial institutions and other clients in sanctions,
anti-money laundering issues and supply chain security and risk management as well as
policy making efforts in those areas.

Rick Sofield ‒ Before joining Debevoise & Plimpton, Mr. Sofield served as the Director of the
Foreign Investment Review Staff for the National Security Division at the U.S. Department
of Justice (DOJ). In that role, he oversaw DOJʼs participation in CFIUS, including the review
of more than 1,000 acquisitions and efforts to prohibit multiple transactions on national
security grounds. He also served as Chair of Team Telecom, which determines whether
certain foreign ownership applications before the FCC create law enforcement or national
security concerns.
Satish Kini – Mr. Kini has represented a wide range of firms (including banks, securities
broker-dealers, insurers and asset managers) and leading industry trade associations on
regulatory reform issues and has assisted clients to participate in the policymaking process
before federal regulators, including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the
Financial Stability Oversight Council and the U.S. Treasury Department and its Financial
Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). He
currently serves as counsel to the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Associationʼs
(SIFMA) Anti-Money Laundering Committee.
Robert Dura ‒ Mr. Dura advises clients on matters relating to economic and trade sanctions,
export controls, foreign investment restrictions administered by CFIUS, anti-money
laundering (AML) compliance obligations for financial institutions and criminal money
laundering risks more generally, antiboycott requirements and similar trade compliance
considerations (e.g., the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, the Commerce Departmentʼs
Supply Chain Rule).
Naomi Aoyama ‒ Ms. Aoyama focuses on international mergers and acquisitions and joint
ventures. She is qualified to practice law in Japan as bengoshi as well as in New York. She
is uniquely situated as she has deep understanding of both American and Japanese
business practice and culture, from her experience working in both Japanese and American
firms. She has worked at our New York office for nearly 20 years and a shorter term at each
