By re-titling the latest Edition as THE GLOBAL MERGER CONTROL MANUAL, the Editors acknowledge that parties to cross-border transactions can no longer treat merger control as a box-ticking exercise but must instead build a full merger control analysis (including a substantive assessment, coordinated filing strategies, review process timetables, etc.) into the transaction strategy as a whole.

This and the prior editions of the MANUAL (or HANDBOOK) were written by, and written for, practicing lawyers to assist in carrying out the daunting tasks associated with competition review of multinational mergers and acquisitions. Most of the contributors to this Edition are competition law experts at Baker & McKenzie, a law firm with offices in 38 countries, which is particularly well suited to such an interinational survey and publication. We have also drawn on the experience of practicing lawyers in many other countries.

• Includes CD-Rom version of the entire Handbook, allowing for easy downloading.
• Quick Reference Guide at the beginning of the Handbook, setting out the basic filing thresholds and timing implications of the merger control processin each country.
• Tabulated format, providing easy access to the information about each country.
• Includes both a summary of the merger control rules and the legislation itself for nearly every country.

GLOBAL MERGER CONTROL MANUAL will enable a company’s inhouse teams, investment bankers, and lawyers to carry out an immediate preliminary assessment in order to determine the number and kind of merger notifications that will be required in respect of any multinational merger.
