Australia’s merger control framework is undergoing its most significant reform in decades. As notification thresholds, filing requirements and ACCC processes become more prescriptive and continue to evolve, businesses can expect a substantial increase in the volume and complexity of merger notifications and assessments.
MerTL combines G+T’s market-leading merger control expertise with innovative technology to support faster assessments of merger notification obligations. Developed by G+T’s Competition, Consumer and Market Regulation and G+T Innovate teams, the tool allows G+T’s lawyers to quickly identify whether a transaction is likely to require ACCC notification.
The launch of MerTL reflects G+T’s continued focus on practical and innovative legal solutions ensuring clients remain on the front foot in the face of regulatory change.
Elizabeth Avery, Partner and Head of Competition, Consumer and Market Regulation at G+T, commented:
As merger notifications become more frequent and complex, we’re excited to introduce MerTL, providing fast assessments for clients at a critical stage of deal planning.
Clients who would like to learn more about using MerTL on an upcoming transaction can provide their details, and a member of the G+T team will be in touch to discuss next steps.
