Business Combinations
For clients studying potential business combinations, as well as for clients who have decided to carry them out, we provide essential advice on the necessity of JFTC filings, and represent our clients in JFTC procedures and in negotiations with the JFTC. Our advice extends to the full range of applicable competition and antitrust laws, including "gun-jumping" rules, and is provided in accordance with the client's objectives and deal schedule. We have analyzed and assessed competition law risk in a wide range of business combinations and in many industries, and provided legal opinions.
For issues under competition law regulations in other countries, we leverage our strong network of foreign law firms to confirm whether regulatory filings are necessary and arrange for the drafting and submission of any required documentation and filings.
