GCR Live: Global Merger Control 2024
When:
October 16, 2024 - October 17, 2024
Location:
Brussels, Belgium
On October 17, Axinn partner Nicholas Gaglio will speak on the “Merger control in the digital age” panel at the GCR Live: Global Merger Control conference, being held on October 16 - 17 in Brussels, Belgium .
Recent cases involving Big Tech show that the authorities are increasingly ready to intervene based on complex and novel theories of harm. At the same time, the authorities are equipping themselves with broad tools to capture acquisitions and partnerships that may have previously flown under the radar. This panel will discuss what these developments mean for M&A in the digital sector.
- What do the prohibitions of Amazon/iRobot, Adobe/Figma and Booking/eTraveli mean for future M&A by major tech platforms?
- What impact will the merging reporting requirements of the DMA and DMCC have on M&A in the tech sector?
- How are authorities adapting their approach in response to the investments, partnerships and acqui-hires by Big Tech?
- When is competition policy a threat to innovation and is there a way to balance the two?
