Full Description
We are pleased to present the 19th edition of ICLG - Mergers & Acquisitions. The Guide contains 34 question & answer chapters, as well as one expert analysis chapter on the 2025 M&A outlook, including legal trends, risks and opportunities. The Guide is designed to provide general counsel, investment bankers, government agencies and private practice lawyers with a comprehensive insight into the practicalities of M&A by jurisdiction, highlighting market trends and legal developments as well as practical and strategic considerations.
In producing ICLG - Mergers & Acquisitions 2025, the publishers have asked a group of leading practitioners from around the world to provide an overview and insights into M&A practice in their respective jurisdictions. The authors were asked to offer discussion of the most important recent developments in their jurisdictions. A key benefit of comparative analyses is the possibility that developments in one jurisdiction may inform understanding in another. This lens is particularly important when considering the global market for corporate control in 2025, as countries around the world respond to common challenges in different ways. We hope that this Guide will prove insightful and stimulating reading.
