LawLex has a proven track record in merger control, guiding clients through regulatory requirements and representing them in proceedings. Each year, we handle a high volume of merger notifications, coordinating filings globally. We work closely with our M&A team, which leads in advising on the highest number of transactions in Europe. Many clients also entrust us directly with their merger control cases.
With offices across Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America, alongside an extensive global network, we offer a seamless, one-stop solution for transactions worldwide.
We help clients develop optimal merger control strategies to maximize approval prospects and minimize delays. Our team has successfully represented clients in landmark cases, including transformative 4-to-3 mergers that reshaped key industries.
We also provide daily guidance on avoiding “gun-jumping” risks during due diligence and pre-closing phases. Our structured compliance mechanisms—such as clean teams and secure data rooms—ensure adherence to competition laws throughout the transaction.
Additionally, we advocate for third parties seeking to influence mergers between industry players to align with their strategic interests.
