Partner Carl Valenstein was quoted in an fDi Intelligence article discussing the surge in US federal and state legislation aimed at restricting foreign ownership of land, highlighting how concerns over national security and economic influence have driven a record number of proposed bills.
Carl noted that the policy behind this legislation “is very focused on Chinese acquisition of US agricultural land” given that the level of investment by other countries targeted—North Korea, Russia, and Iran—is “comparably low.”
The article also quoted a Morgan Lewis LawFlash discussing this development.
