Next steps
The ACCC, in consultation with government, competition law specialists and the business community, will clearly be giving further consideration to the design of a mandatory merger regime in Australia in the months to come. We look forward to contributing to that conversation.
We hope this Insight helps our clients approach the debate around any proposed new regime from an informed perspective. We will be closely monitoring developments in this space and considering the implications of the reforms in detail once they are released.
