One global firm: Seamless economic support
As merger control becomes increasingly global, businesses face the challenge of navigating diverse regulatory frameworks across multiple jurisdictions. With heightened scrutiny from competition authorities worldwide, cross-border mergers demand a strategic, coordinated approach to ensure consistency across jurisdictions and avoid unnecessary costs.
At CRA, we leverage a global network of competition and antitrust experts across 17 offices – from the United States and Canada to Europe and Asia – providing comprehensive, strategic and streamlined support for large, multi-jurisdictional mergers. CRA supports clients all over the world and in front of many antitrust enforcement agencies.
Our team is adept at navigating complex regulatory environments across multiple jurisdictions, providing consistent economic advocacy, a streamlined approach to fact gathering, simplified relationships with counsel and the business, reduced economic management costs, tailored economic analysis, and regulatory guidance.
CRA has been involved with some of the largest and most complex global deals, including recent work on Microsoft/Activision, Broadcom/VMware, and Cisco/Splunk and advised many more global companies and law firms on both sides of the Atlantic and across several more jurisdictions.
