Gómez-Acebo & Pombo is pleased to invite you to the session “Recent Developments in Merger Control in the EU.”

Merger control in the European Union is undergoing a period of transformation, shaped by new tools, landmark rulings, and key decisions from the EU Courts and the European Commission. This webinar offers an up-to-date and practical overview of the main changes currently redefining the assessment of mergers and acquisitions within the EU.

During the session, we will examine the most relevant decisions by the Commission, with particular focus on the digital and pharmaceutical sectors. We will also address the impact of the Court of Justice of the EU’s judgment in the Illumina/Grail case, the Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR), and the Digital Markets Act (DMA) as new instruments of control. In addition, we will discuss the Commission’s Communication on the definition of the relevant market and the ongoing consultation on the guidelines for horizontal and non-horizontal mergers.

Gómez-Acebo & Pombo is pleased to invite you, in collaboration with the Instituto de Consejeros-Administradores (IC-A), ASCEF and APD, to an event at the Círculo Ecuestre where we will share the importance of Good Corporate Governance in Unlisted companies. Good Corporate Governance contributes to improving the valuation of potential investors, provides shareholder stability and long-term success, is key to unity and commitment between the family and the company, and increases the expectations of development and value creation in companies of all types.

We are therefore delighted to invite you to take part in a panel discussion featuring prominent Catalan business leaders, on the occasion of the launch of the new edition of the IC-A book: “Principles of Good Corporate Governance for Unlisted Companies.” This concise guide presents updated principles and recommendations to support entrepreneurs, executives, board members, and company boards in implementing good governance practices that will better equip their companies to face current and future challenges. Attendees will receive a complimentary copy of the publication.

The IC-A is a non-profit association whose mission is to promote good corporate governance. With over 20 years of experience, the IC-A has become a benchmark in corporate governance both in Spain and abroad, representing Spanish directors at the European and global level through the confederations of directors’ associations, ecoDa and GNDI respectively.
