Smithfield Foods and Shuanghui International announced that their proposed $7.1 billion transaction has received clearance following review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). Washington DC-based partner Peter Thomas, associates Dave Shogren and Andrew Winerman, and summer associates Nic Ridley and Adrienne Vollmer, represented Smithfield in the CFIUS process. The CFIUS team worked closely with M&A partners Rob Spatt and Patrick Naughton and their corporate team. They also coordinated with Shuanghui’s CFIUS counsel in preparing the CFIUS notification, briefing CFIUS staff and responding to inquiries from CFIUS throughout the regulatory process.
