Additional Information |
This volume includes selected chapters from the annual proceedings of the Fordham Corporate Law Institute. The general subject is the antitrust or competition law analysis of mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures which is a subject of increasing importance.
In recent years there have been radical changes around the globe in the application of antitrust laws to mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures, including both domestic transactions and transborder transactions. For example, there has been a rabbiting proliferation of merger control systems which require premerger notification and entail global or world bars on closing. Today over 70 jurisdictions have merger control systems. Although differences continue to exist in the substantive tests and analyses, there is a growing convergence with jurisdictions looking to prior and contemporaneous decisions and analyses in other jurisdictions, notably in the European Community and the United States. Thus most of the chapters focus on the antitrust treatment of merger and acquisitions under the EC Merger Regulation and the Clayton Act.
Joint ventures present both merger control issues and restrictive agreement issues and are discussed in several chapters. Given the number and importance of joint ventures and strategic alliances, these chapters are highly relevant to today's practitioners, in-house counsel, decision makers and academics.
Minority shareholdings also can raise issues under laws and regulations governing merger, restrictive agreements and dominant firms. The chapters discussing minority shareholdings are timely given the complexities of the issues and the renewed enforcement attention to minority shareholdings by antitrust authorities.

"... the predominant forum for discussion of leading edge international antitrust issues. Both the conference and the published volume of proceedings are eagerly awaited events on the annual antitrust calendar."
- A. Neil Campbell and J. William Rowley, Former Vice Chairman and Chairman Committee C (Antitrust and Trade Law) International Bar Association (IBA)
"The Fordham conferences on EC and US antitrust law are probably the best regular conferences on EC competition law anywhere. This is the largest single source of information and analysis on European Union antitrust law anywhere. The volumes contain more profound analysis of EC antitrust law than most other (perhaps any other) regular publications. ... Some of the papers are regarded as seminal. Also, some of the older papers are still the best statement of the legal principles in certain areas, even if there is recent case law."
- Common Market Law Review
"The Panel discussions are not only a valuable source of information, but provide insight into existing and potential future problems together with possible solutions."
