About Ben J.

As a partner in Davis Polk’s national security practice, I advise U.S. and international clients on the regulatory aspects of cross-border mergers, acquisitions, dispositions, investments and other business transactions, particularly on matters related to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS).I previously served for several years in the U.S. government, holding senior legal and policy roles involving national security and foreign investment. As one of the few practitioners to have served as both a CFIUS lawyer at the U.S. Treasury Department and a CFIUS policymaker at the White House, I have deep, hands-on experience with every facet of the CFIUS process, from conducting initial jurisdictional analyses to coordinating presidential prohibitions.Attorney Advertising.
