Whilst local and cross-border mergers and acquisitions may be similar in scope, they are regulated by different rules. European cross-border M&As are mainly regulated by the EC Merger Directive while local M&As are mainly regulated by the Maltese Companies Act, 1995.
M&As are becoming increasingly complex requiring precise and professional handling. Our team has experience and expertise in handling local and cross-border transactions including private acquisitions and disposals to public mergers & takeovers. We liaise on our extensive international network of law firms and consultants to enable us to address international and cross-border issues.
Our services in this field include:
- Procedural and regulatory issues
- Negotiating and drafting SPA and other agreements
- Addressing competition law issues
