MERGER CONTROL / Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)

• During contractual negotiations, we provide advice on all legal aspects of merger control and FDI.
• We notify the German Federal Cartel Office or the European Commission and for Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs of your project and represent your undertaking in merger control and FDI proceedings.
• If additional merger control or FDI proceedings are required in other jurisdictions, we coordinate this process worldwide on your behalf, working with members of our trusted network of specialist law firms.
• We can also advise you should you wish to intervene as an interested party in merger control proceedings involving third parties.
