The team has handled all legal aspects of several cross-border acquisitions and the subsequent integration of companies, strategies and talent.
Euronext’s Legal and Regulatory Department maintains close contact with the regulators of all Euronext countries, as well as with the Euronext College of Regulators, which oversees the seven regulated markets. This College brings together representatives of local market regulators to implement a coordinated approach to market supervision by promoting harmonised national regulations. All the aforementioned transactions and subsequent integration processes required extensive discussions with the seven regulators, resulting in a fully integrated value chain across Europe.
