Merger Control and Foreign Investment Control

The firm is highly experienced in German and European merger control, and merger control belongs to our favorite activities. Our goal is to achieve swift and uncomplicated clearance. Ahead of merger notifications, the firm provides competitive risk assessments and provides advice in order to maximize the chance of clearance. In the area of merger control, the firm also assesses filing requirements in other jurisdictions and coordinates multijurisdictional filings. Where required, the firm cooperates with a network of antitrust lawyers in other countries. 

The firm’s consulting spectrum includes antitrust law due diligence and the competitive assessment of agreements in the context of M&A transactions. 

We also advise and represent clients in the context of foreign direct investments (FDI) under German foreign trade regulations.
