SUMMARY:Merger control – a new normal?
DESCRIPTION:While M&amp\;A transaction activity appears to continue unaba
 tedly despite the challenges to the global economy\, merger parties are 
 facing more regulatory hurdles than ever. Merger control enforcement is 
 high on the agenda for many jurisdictions and is becoming increasingly m
 ore aggressive\, creating uncertainty for merger control parties. \n\nTh
 is tougher approach is resulting in longer pre-filing periods\, more int
 ense scrutiny of remedies (especially behavioural ones) and an increasin
 g number of prohibited or abandoned deals due to the intervention of age
 ncies. In addition\, we are seeing an increasing number of countries cla
 iming jurisdiction even where there is no apparent link between the deal
  and that country. \n\nHow do companies around the global cope with thes
 e trends? And what are the views from regulators about future enforcemen
 t?\n
