Global Legal Insights

We are delighted to introduce the 13th edition of Global Legal Insights – Merger Control.  As in previous editions, the 15 jurisdiction chapters each offer comment and strategic insights into merger control laws around the world, as well as their enforcement in practice.  Chapters for Cyprus, Korea, Malawi, New Zealand and Nigeria have been added to the guide for this edition.
The guide continues to consider how merger control regimes interact with new and evolving national security/foreign direct investment review processes in many jurisdictions.  This work, together with the other titles in the now well-established Global Legal Insights series, goes beyond the basic letter of the law and adds important colour and texture to the core topics it discusses. 
The publishers have again gathered a group of leading practitioners from around the world to provide their personal insights into the practical operation of merger control rules.  We have continued to give the authors considerable scope to express their professional judgment and to explain the workings of their home regime, as well as a free rein to decide the focus of their own chapter.
As merger control regimes are introduced in ever more countries, the trend to converge best practice and procedures continues. We hope that this latest edition of Global Legal Insights – Merger Control will be a useful resource in understanding the approaches of different competition authorities, and that merger control practitioners will continue to find this book a useful and insightful addition to their libraries.
