Antitrust, Competition & Foreign Direct Investment

The Antitrust, Competition & Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Group brings together lawyers who specialize in a comprehensive spectrum of antitrust and competition-related domains. Their practices include competition law, foreign direct investment, merger filings, antitrust investigations, antitrust litigation, foreign investment review, digital markets, state aid, public procurement, and other intricacies within the realm of antitrust and competition. Members collaborate to help clients navigate the intricate terrain of international regulations, ensuring their operations align with prevailing antitrust rules in cross-border mergers.

This group also serves as a collaborative hub for staying abreast of regulatory updates and continuously elevating the practice of antitrust and competition law on a global scale. The members hold quarterly, virtual meetings to discuss regulatory changes, exchange insights, and share best practices. They collaborate on a global, comparative Merger Control Guide providing guidance on relevant thresholds for filing and investigation periods concerning merger control by jurisdiction.

The group is targeted toward antitrust & competition, M&A, and cross-border investment lawyers within WLG's member firms.
