Date & Time
Thursday, October 22, 2026, 10:15 AM - 11:15 AM

Description
  • Changes to merger guidelines across the US, EU and UK – what’s new, what’s old and where are we converging or diverging?
  • Has the Draghi report meaningfully changed the EU’s stance on scale, efficiencies, and competitiveness?
  • Ecosystems, conglomerate effects and minority shareholdings – are we returning to traditional theories of harm, or reinventing them?
  • Non-traditional considerations – labour markets, FDI, CFIUS and national security overlays
