Cross-Border M&A Deals: National Security and Interest
Reviews Raise Flags |
November 7, 2008
Previously published by LexisNexis® Martindale-Hubbell® Counsel to Counsel Magazine on January 2008
Political concerns and perceived
national security threats can lead
national review agencies to quash
deals in the name of national security or to
protect local "champion" companies from
competitive disadvantage. The latitude
afforded these agencies may go well beyond
evaluating commonly accepted competitive
concerns, forcing inside counsel to come
to a new understanding of the politicization
of the processes impacting company M&A
risk analysis and planning. Recent
developments in the United States, Europe
and China reflect the various ways politics
and protections affect cross-border
transactions even as competition concerns
seem closer to convergence. By Counsel to Counsel Editor John M. Toth
