Merger control raises a number of substantive and procedural issues that impact the M&A process. This workshop is aimed at corporate lawyers, as well as competition lawyers. Following the 'life' of an M&A transaction, it aims to identify the issues that can significantly impact transactions: What is a sound approach to dealing with the complexities of multijurisdictional merger control? How can the parties effectively achieve clearances in a number of jurisdictions without being accused of 'gaming the system'? How can they effectively address competition issues in a number of jurisdictions without jeopardising the core value of the transaction? The session will be interactive, led by a panel of experienced practitioners from different jurisdictions to exchange experiences of what should work and how to avoid the pitfalls facing international mergers.
