A chapter by John Ratliff, Frédéric Louis and Cormac O'Daly published in The Merger Control Review (11th edition, Editor Ilene Knable Gotts), Chapter 2, pp. 26-42.
The authors highlight prominent cases that illustrate the diverse issues being raised by international merger remedies, outline some of the key context, and offer practical conclusions for companies and their advisers.
Excerpt: When planning an acquisition or merger involving global companies, merging parties often concentrate on obtaining merger approvals in the United States and the European Union in the expectation that other countries’ regulators would follow the lead provided by the US and EU authorities.
