Details

With contributions from 46 countries, this book aims to answer questions that companies and their lawyers face in the global merger control notification and review process. This book will also answer important practical questions that aren’t often addressed, such as whether pre-notification consultations are customary in a given jurisdiction and whether “carve-out” arrangements may be implemented to allow for closing to take place in jurisdictions where approval is still pending.

This title aims to address critical questions in a concise and practical way and so serve as a valuable resource to companies and counsel navigating their way through the twists and turns of obtaining the required merger control approvals worldwide.

This book will be of great assistance to corporations and their counsel.
