Session information
Session two: Successful deal execution in the face of tough antitrust enforcement
Friday 6 September (1145 - 1300)
Description
Merger control, which used to be a relatively predictable area of competition law, is now undergoing major developments all around the globe including in Europe. The days of a light touch approach are clearly over: competition authorities globally and in Europe are reviewing an ever-wider range of transactions. Add to this the now up and running EU Foreign Subsidies Regulation. The result is the need for detailed transaction planning from a regulatory perspective. This panel will discuss how companies can navigate this complex landscape.
