Paul Hastings Expands National Security Practice with New Partner Keith Schomig

Legal giant Paul Hastings has strengthened its national security practice with the addition of Keith Schomig as a partner. Schomig will focus on the national security reviews before the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) and its international counterparts, as well as handling matters related to foreign ownership, control, or influence mitigation before the Defense Department and other national security agencies. His expertise adds a significant layer of proficiency to the firm’s already robust capabilities in these critical areas.

Schomig joins Paul Hastings from White & Case, bringing a wealth of experience in national security and global trade controls. His arrival is set to bolster the firm’s strategic advisory services in navigating complex regulatory landscapes, particularly at a time when national security concerns are paramount for multinational corporations engaged in cross-border transactions. More details about this appointment can be found on Paul Hastings’ official announcement.
