In the area of merger control, we review the need for merger-control processes and, to-gether with all affected parties, identify the relevant markets and competitive impact of the merger. We prepare the application for the registration of the merger at the level of the Eu-ropean Union, the German Federal Cartel Office or other national antitrust authorities, conduct any necessary negotiations and assist our clients in proceedings until the responsible antitrust officials have given their approval. Together with our international partners, we pledge to offer our clients the best possible care inside and outside Europe - in all relevant jurisdictions.
