#Legal Insights | Foreign investment control and merger control in M&A

Regulatory requirements have become increasingly important in the
European deal environment over the last few years. Whilst the
M&A community is used to the relevance of antitrust filings,
foreign investment control (FIC) is today equally important for
deals, especially those involving non-EU investors. In the third
edition of the IBA Corporate and M&A Law Committee Podcasts,
Petra Linsmeier, Head of Antitrust at Gleiss Lutz, and Jacob von
Andreae, FIC partner at Gleiss Lutz, discuss recent trends and
issues relating to antitrust and FIC requirements and clearance
proceedings and how the players involved deal with these
challenges, both from a buyer and from a seller perspective. The
discussion is moderated by Ralf Morshäuser, Head of M&A at
Gleiss Lutz and currently the Education Officer of the IBA
Corporate and M&A Law Committee.
