Culley, Chase D. Kaniecki, William Segal & William S. Dawley on June 24, 2022 Posted in Cross-border M&A, Foreign Investment Recent developments regarding global competition enforcement and foreign direct investment, or FDI, review regimes have created uncertainty for cross-border transactions. Specifically, global merger control authorities have become increasingly aggressive in “calling in” transactions under so-called “voluntary” regimes and a number of FDI review regimes recently have been established or expanded. These developments have resulted in more complicated due diligence processes, global merger control and FDI filing analyses, and contract negotiations associated with cross-border transactions. To ensure that cross-border transactions can be successfully completed, this added complexity demands the exercise of judgment and close coordination between the parties and their respective antitrust and FDI teams. On June 23, 2022, we published an article on Competition Policy International summarizing the recent developments regarding the global merger control environment and global FDI review regimes, highlighting the practical implications of these developments for parties involved in cross-border transactions, and discussing the overlapping considerations created by the global merger control and global FDI review regime analyses. The full article on Competition Policy International is available here. To download a pdf of the article, click here.

Kaniecki, Polina Lyadnova, Samuel H. Chang, Pete Young, William S. Dawley, Frederick Howell & Laure de Chalendar on May 19, 2022 Posted in European Union, International Trade, Russia, Sanctions, U.S., Ukraine Last Updated: May 19, 2022 The United States, the European Union and the United Kingdom, along with a number of other jurisdictions, have responded to the ongoing military conflict in Ukraine by adopting new, additional and/or enhanced economic sanctions, trade restrictions and other restrictive measures targeting, in different ways, Russia, Belarus, and the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic and Luhansk People’s Republic, which Russia has purported to recognize as independent states. Russia, in turn, has responded to these restrictive measures by adopting its own countermeasures and related regulations affecting, for example, certain dealings involving non-Russians in Russia. Provided below are links to the summaries of the measures adopted by the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Russia and other jurisdictions, along with a chart summarizing the U.S., EU, UK and Swiss sanctions designation status of certain noteworthy Russian entities and individuals. The pages linked below will continue to be updated regularly as part of our Russia-Ukraine Sanctions Resource Center to reflect new developments. * United States * European Union * United Kingdom * Russia * Other Jurisdictions * Selected Sanctions Designations Tracking Chart Email this postTweet this postLike this postShare this post on LinkedIn GERMANY PROHIBITS ACQUISITION OF HEYER MEDICAL BY CHINESE INVESTOR By Mirko von Bieberstein on May 9, 2022 Posted in FDI, Germany On 27 April 2022, the German government blocked the acquisition of German medical products manufacturer Heyer Medical AG by the Chinese Aeonmed Group.
