Takeover Talks: The Times They Are A-Changin'

M&A transactions have become increasingly complex over the past decade in a number of ways. Regulatory conditions in particular have become more prevalent and introduce additional execution risk. In the latest podcast, Harry and Hayley speak with antitrust and competition law authority, Chris Eberhardt, to get his thoughts on how the UK and EU merger control landscape has evolved and how this is impacting UK public M&A. The episode is intended to sit alongside, and complement, our quarterly publication which is available on our website. The publication looks at key highlights and market developments in the second quarter, as well as relevant legal and regulatory developments. The publication also includes tables summarizing the key features of firm offer announcements made during the quarter.
