Podcast: Foreign investment control and M&A

Regulatory requirements have become increasingly important in the European deal environment over the last few years. Whilst the M&A community is used to the relevance of antitrust filings, foreign investment control (FIC) is today equally important for deals, especially those involving non-EU investors. 

In this podcast, Petra Linsmeier, Head of Antitrust at Gleiss Lutz in Munich, and Jacob von Andreae, FIC partner at Gleiss Lutz's Dusseldorf office, discuss recent trends and issues relating to antitrust and FIC clearance proceedings and how the players involved deal with the requirements, both from a buyer and from a seller perspective. 

The discussion is moderated by Ralf Morshäuser, Education Officer of the IBA Corporate and M&A Law Committee and a corporate partner at Gleiss Lutz's Munich office.
