Latin American Antitrust and M&A Groups Release Guide on Evolving Trends
The WSG Latin American Antitrust and M&A Groups have just unveiled their latest publication, “Navigating Merger Control in Latin America: A Strategic Guide for Global M&A”. This guide offers a deep dive into the merger control landscape across Latin America, equipping businesses with the knowledge they need to confidently navigate this complex terrain and take advantage of new opportunities.
In recent years, competition authorities in Latin America have been shaping their merger control frameworks, drawing inspiration from established jurisdictions like the US, UK, and EU. These evolving frameworks are setting important precedents that are influencing M&A transactions in the region. However, the lack of a unified regional approach presents challenges for companies operating across borders.
“Managing the diverse merger control regimes of multiple countries in a multi-jurisdictional deal can be daunting and time-sensitive,” says Fiorella Monge, WSG Antitrust Group Leader and Associate at Rodrigo, Elias & Medrano Abogados. “Our goal with this publication is to provide a reliable resource for businesses looking to minimize risks and maximize opportunities in the Latin American market.”
The guide covers key trends and discussions in merger control across Latin America, offering practical insights on topics like gun jumping, imposed remedies, clean team agreements, antitrust risk allocation in SPAs, and strategies to prevent regulatory delays. Drawing on the expertise of WSG’s global network, the guide includes country-specific insights from 17 key Latin American jurisdictions.
