Getting the Deal Through is delighted to publish the fully revised and updated thirteenth edition of Mergers & Acquisitions, a volume in our series of annual reports, which provide international analysis in key areas of law and policy for corporate counsel, cross-border legal practitioners and business people.

Mergers & Acquisitions 2012 examines the law and regulation of business combinations and addresses the most important issues for international deals.

Following the format adopted throughout the series, the same key questions are answered by leading practitioners in each of the 67 jurisdictions featured. New jurisdictions this year include Australia, Bolivia, the Cayman Islands, Delaware, the Republic of Georgia, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Peru, Serbia and Tajikistan. Global and EU overviews are also provided.

Many legal disciplines come into play in large M&A deals. In particular, advisers must take account of competition regulation. This volume contains an appendix covering merger control rules across the world. For a more detailed analysis please refer to another volume of the Getting the Deal Through series: Merger Control.
