Program

In 2011, three years after China’s Anti-Monopoly Law was implemented, China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) reviewed a record number of merger and acquisition (M&A) transactions — 194, a 43-percent increase over 2010 — as the regulatory landscape continued to evolve. Of significance, MOFCOM played an active and influential role in international transactions of which only a component was located in China.

Please join Foley for the next program in our Eye on China Roundtable Series, during which seasoned professionals from Foley and an economist from Charles River Associates will share recent experiences in this area and discuss the changing landscape and implications of M&A review for international transactions.

Specific topics to be addressed include:

Solving the China puzzle in global M&A transactions
Understanding the issues that trigger an M&A review by China
An insider’s view of China’s M&A review agency, MOFCOM
Practical tips for working more effectively with Chinese regulatory agencies
