International M&A Transactions

M&A transactions are an essential part of our core competence. At Oppenhoff, we regularly advise a large number of national and international clients on German and EU related M&A transactions.

Today, regulatory approvals have become a key component of cross-border M&A transactions. In addition to merger control, foreign direct investment screening and, more recently, foreign subsidy review must be taken into account for an effective and successful closing process. Our experience in these procedures is based on Oppenhoff's unique background in advising clients operating in sensitive industries and our knowledge in navigating through challenging procedures with German and European regulators. 

Our approach

International M&A transactions led by our M&A team are supported by Oppenhoff's integrated regulatory clearance team. This team comprises of renowned experts with both antitrust and regulatory backgrounds who work hand in hand to deliver what is required for each specific client and transaction. By leveraging synergies from merger control and FDI filings, we are able to provide fast and efficient solutions while remaining highly specialized to focus on the critical aspects of each transaction and clearance process.
