On 3 July, RBB’s Paul Hutchinson
Paul HutchinsonPartner will speak at the Mergermarket M&A Forum in London, joining the regulatory round table session: ‘Navigating the new UK environment’.
The UK government has consulted on a new ‘strategic steer’ to the Competition and Markets Authority, pushing for greater emphasis on economic growth and the agency’s own review on merger remedies aligns with this new direction. Key questions are emerging about how this may reshape the UK’s regulatory landscape.
The panel will explore:
What concrete changes are being applied to merger control at the CMA?
Will the CMA still take a strong stance on AI partnerships, such as Microsoft’s deals with Inflection and OpenAI as well as Amazon/Anthropic?
Which other sectors are facing regulatory scrutiny in the UK?
Does the government risk overstepping the mark with its ‘strategic steer’?
