Description
Welcome to the 2021 edition of ICLG - Merger Control, one of the leading comprehensive and practical comparative guides to navigating merger control regimes around the world. The merger control regimes of many countries continue to grapple with a number of common issues, including changes to jurisdictional thresholds and review processes, as well as changes to assessment criteria, against a background of a general ramping up of enforcement activity for breaches of procedural rules. Some of these changes have been politically driven, whilst others reflect attempts by policy makers and regulators to ensure that their merger control regimes remain relevant and effective in today's rapidly changing economic environment. In particular, the increasing digitisation of many businesses has meant that many regulators have reviewed, for example, the applicability of their notification thresholds, the information they request from merging parties, and their substantive assessment methodologies. This means that navigating merger control rules in many jurisdictions has become even more complex. These changes have been considered by all of the contributing authors to this edition, and we believe that it will continue to be an essential practical guide for lawyers advising on multi-jurisdictional mergers across the globe.
