Introduction: Key Current Trends – Global Overview

Introduction Foreign direct investment (FDI) regulation has become an increasingly critical piece of the regulatory jigsaw in recent years. FDI flows have started to surge back to above pre-pandemic levels,[2] but we are also seeing a continuing trend towards greater protectionism and stricter enforcement, initially resulting from the unprecedented economic fallout of the covid-19 pandemic, followed swiftly by heightened geopolitical tensions. This means it is more important than ever before to consider the potential application of FDI rules to cross-border M&A from the outset. Many existing FDI screening regimes have been expanded in recent years and – particularly in the EU – a significant number of new regimes have been adopted.[3] It is critical that deal parties and their advisers identify as early as possible in the transaction planning process what investment screening issues may arise, how these might be addressed, and whether they may ultimately threaten the viability of the transaction.

European merger control – key considerations for public M&A and private equity

Until recently, merger control was the main consideration for M&A transactions in Europe: dealmakers only had to consider merger control approvals at the European Union (EU) and national levels.  After a couple of years characterised by strong geopolitical tensions marked by the coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis and then Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, M&A in Europe is now facing increased merger control and regulatory scrutiny in the following three key areas. First, merger control enforcement has become more expansive and more aggressive. Second, deals are now subject to multiple national reviews under the newly adopted or updated foreign direct investment (FDI) regimes across the EU and the UK. Third, the EU Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR) adds a third layer of regulatory scrutiny for certain large transactions.  In this article we provide a brief overview of each of these three trends and we conclude with some key considerations for dealmakers both on the
