Around the world, regulators are rapidly evolving their approaches to merger control. The landscape has become increasingly complex and fragmented. Transactions that were once straightforward now take much longer and are more likely to be challenged.
Responding to a perception that their old tools were not working as well as perhaps they should, regulators have introduced a wave of new thresholds and regimes, and also are exploring novel theories of harm and demanding larger volumes of evidence to support mergers.
This premiere episode of the “Fierce Competition” podcast features three partners from Skadden’s Global Antitrust and Competition Group. Host Ingrid Vandenborre (Brussels) is joined by David Wales (Washington, D.C.) and Andrew Foster (Hong Kong) to discuss how companies can navigate this new era of merger control.
