Strategic and Practical Issues in International Merger Control

Comparing merger control regimes in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas, this interactive panel discussion will consider a number of current issues, such as:

To file or not to file: Which joint ventures? Which minority participations? What about jurisdictions with no local nexus to the transaction?
Pre- and post-notification contacts with the reviewing authority: When are they necessary? When are they helpful?
Extensive information requests: Can they be avoided? How best to deal with them?
Staying on track: How to avoid one or more jurisdictions getting out of sync with other jurisdictions and the deal timetable?
Resolving issues: How to tackle differences in substantive assessment and in remedy requirements?
Managing client expectations on timing and process.
