OUR APPROACH

How We Advise on Merger Control and Deal Clearance

  1. Notification Thresholds and Filing

    Our work covers notification thresholds, identifying the authorities whose approval is required, and preparing and filing notifications.

  2. Managing the Review Process

    We manage the review to clearance, and address remedies or commitments where concerns arise.

  3. Coordinating Parallel Regulatory Filings

    This includes parallel competition and foreign-investment filings alongside the merger control process itself.

  4. Deal Mechanics Between Signing and Closing

    We also advise on conditions precedent, long-stop dates, gun-jumping and information exchange between signing and closing.
