Whether your deal triggers review thresholds in the EU, the U.K., the U.S., or emerging markets, we help anticipate regulatory objections, design mitigation strategies, and defend approval applications.
Our team supports clients of all sizes – corporates, private equity, financial institutions – through mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, and other transactions that implicate competition law.
