Mergers and Acquisitions Control

Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) control refers to the legal and regulatory processes that oversee the combination of companies through mergers (joining companies) or acquisitions (one company buying another). These controls ensure that such transactions do not create monopolies or reduce competition in the market, which could harm consumers. Regulatory authorities, like the Federal Trade Commission in the U.S. or the European Commission in Europe, review proposed deals to assess their impact on competition, pricing, and market dynamics. The goal is to promote fair business practices and protect consumer interests while allowing healthy business growth.
