Australia's new mandatory merger regime
Covered in this webinar:
The transition to Australia's new mandatory and suspensory merger regime commenced on 1 July. It is a major overhaul, with reforms coming into effect for deals closing or completing on or after 1 January 2026. These changes will introduce a single mandatory and suspensory administrative process, replacing the current framework.
To understand what these changes mean for you, our team has created a short 35-minute webinar providing an overview of the regime, covering:
- if an acquisition needs to be notified
- timelines, process appeals and fees
- pre-completion obligations
- transitional arrangements.
This session was recorded on Tuesday, 8 July 2025.
