Managing Competition and Regulatory compliance
We advise on the competition law aspects of Australian and cross-border mergers and acquisitions, helping clients navigate regulatory risk and secure timely deal approval. Our team works closely with transaction stakeholders from deal planning through to completion, embedding competition strategy into commercial decision making from the outset.
We have deep experience guiding transactions through the ACCC merger clearance processes, including on complex, high value and sensitive deals. Our advice covers merger risk assessment, engagement with the ACCC, coordination with global counsel and managing competition issues arising from deal structures, joint ventures and strategic alliances. With a strong understanding of the ACCC’s approach and market dynamics, we help clients progress transactions efficiently while minimising regulatory uncertainty.
