Biography

■ Mr. David R. Hanke

Dave is a leading national security and public policy lawyer for domestic and foreign companies, especially those navigating the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) and its expanded authority under the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act (FIRRMA). While working on Capitol Hill, he was the primary staff architect of FIRRMA and the chief strategist behind its 2018 enactment. Beyond CFIUS, he also advises companies on US Government policy regarding supply chain and strategic technology issues, such as 5G telecommunications infrastructure and domestic semiconductor manufacturing, and helps clients interface effectively with federal agencies and Congress. Companies that end up tangled in the growing strategic competition between the US and China regularly seek his advice, and he is frequently invited to speak at industry, think tank, and academic conferences and quoted in major national news stories.
