  • Transactions / mergers and acquisitions
    In today’s fast-paced business environment, many companies are taking advantage of market changes to expand through acquisitions. The transactions are becoming more and more complex. Contact our EY Law M&A Transactions team!

    An early anti-trust assessment, especially in the context of company acquisitions and mergers, is essential nowadays.
