Legal Expert Call: EU Antitrust: A New Era for European M&A?

Paris, France

Cleary Gottlieb partner Séverine Schrameck will participate in Kepler Cheuvreux’s Legal Expert Call, “EU Antitrust: A New Era for European M&A?”

Séverine will discuss the European Commission’s proposed overhaul of its merger control guidelines, its biggest in more than 20 years, with publication expected by year-end. The proposed changes put more weight on competitiveness, innovation, efficiencies and the emergence of European champions. The panel will consider whether this signals a more pragmatic approach to large mergers, particularly in strategic sectors, and how it could affect deal execution risk, remedies, and timelines for ongoing and future M&A transactions.
