Merger Control
About
Merger control is a critical part of doing deals. From a business perspective, it creates uncertainty on closing, and the often suspensory effect hinders the integration process. It also imposes huge demands on business and legal teams.
With over 120 countries enforcing merger control laws, identifying where filings are required, working out timing implications, and assessing the costs and risks of failing to provide notification can be a daunting process — particularly for deals that present substantive issues and require notifications in multiple jurisdictions. With the largest competition practice worldwide, we can help get your deal through swiftly and efficiently.
