Mergers

Still, at the planning stage of transaction, it is worth determining whether the merger clearance might be an issue for the European or national authority or whether the authority is likely to give conditional clearance that might undermine the business rationale of the merger.

Accordingly, for our Clients we provide:

  • assistance in pre-transactional assessment of potential risks (in particular – whether a prohibiting or conditional decision is likely to be issued)
  • assistance before the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection and before the European Commission, in the planned merger notification and in the monitoring of clearance proceedings
  • by our trusted advisors we also render such assistance in other jurisdictions
