Merger Control
Increased consolidation in many industry sectors has led to mergers facing mounting scrutiny by competition authorities at a national and a European level.
The process of merger notification, investigation and clearance may be an additional administrative burden for merging companies, but where a notification is necessary, we make this process as smooth as possible. Olswang manages merger filings in Brussels, the UK and around the world and our offering includes:
advice on the likelihood of clearance and possible remedies;
presenting the deal to the relevant competition authorities, or complaining about a supplier or rival's merger;
drafting notifications for mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures; and
liaising and negotiating with the competition authorities, including negotiating remedies and divestments.
If a transaction requires merger filings in other countries we will project manage the international legal team to relieve clients from the administrative burden.
