Global Merger Control Handbook


With an increasing number of cross-border transactions taking place in today’s fast-changing global environment, an understanding of, and compliance with, national and regional legislation and requirements are of vital importance.

The Global Merger Control Handbook provides guidance on regulatory issues involved in the merger clearance process, including a detailed overview of relevant local rules, methodology, process and timing requirements in 55 jurisdictions across North and South America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific.

The three volume handbook is available in hard copy and in three main digital formats and can be purchased at
