Anne Salladin

Anne dedicated nearly 20 years of service to the Office of the Assistant General Counsel for International Affairs of the Treasury Department, which provides legal advice to the Secretary of the Treasury as Chairperson of CFIUS. As a Senior Counsel and official of the Treasury Department, she was responsible for providing legal advice to the Secretary of the Treasury on CFIUS matters, negotiated mitigation agreements, worked closely with other CFIUS agencies, played a role in developing the CFIUS laws and regulations, and participated in the review and investigation of well over 500 transactions filed with CFIUS, including many major Chinese acquisitions. She is one of only a few CFIUS practitioners in private practice with extensive background and experience in CFIUS matters with the Treasury Department, the agency that oversees the CFIUS process.

While at the Treasury Department, Anne also worked on the Mexican and Asian financial crises and on matters relating to sovereign wealth funds.  She has significant experience in matters relating to Japan and was part of a Treasury Department delegation that negotiated with the Japanese Government relating to market access and other issues. She also has significant experience in sovereign debt restructuring involving Argentina, Greece, and other countries. Anne was part of the G-10 working group tasked with reviewing sovereign debt documentation to facilitate orderly resolution of sovereign debt crises. In recognition of her significant contributions during her Treasury career, in particular her work on national security issues, Anne received the Secretary's Meritorious Service Award. The award citation notes that she was “indispensable in helping CFIUS to protect U.S. security in dozens of complex transactions” and is “widely acknowledged as an expert on sovereign debt, and a key player in the U.S. efforts to secure global economic stability through the design of sovereign debt restructuring regimes.”
