Merger Regimes Chart

The Merger Regimes Chart is a database that provides a summary overview of merger regimes around the world. This information is critical in an M&A process, to determine where a transaction may require approval from local competition authorities. Authorities may apply penalties in cases where a required approval is not obtained prior to closing.

Users have access to applicable national filing thresholds, timeline to clearance and additional useful information for more than 120 countries. The database is updated on a regular basis to ensure up to date information.
