Navigating the New Merger Regime: Understanding Asset Definitions and Exemptions

Partners Charles Coorey, Andrew Low and Liana Witt take us deeper into the new merger review process -- the filing fees, the forms and information requirements, and how to engage with the ACCC before and after notifying, with more wrinkles than Winnie the bulldog. Who gets to notify when there's a competitive bidding process? When can you claim confidentiality? How do the ACCC and FIRB work together? This is a recording of the second in our webinar series on Australia's new formal merger system which came into effect on a voluntary basis on 1 July and will be mandatory from 1 January 2026. This episode may qualify for 1 CPD point depending on your jurisdiction.
