In recent years, competition authorities across Latin America have been shaping their own merger control frameworks, drawing inspiration from advanced jurisdictions such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union. This evolving process has set key precedents that are shaping the landscape for mergers and acquisitions (M&A) transactions in each country in the region.

Despite the increase in cross-border transactions, the lack of a unified approach to merger control presents significant challenges for businesses operating internationally. Navigating the merger control regimes of multiple countries simultaneously can become a complex and time-sensitive task, particularly in multinational transactions.

Recognizing these challenges, WSG has published "Navigating Merger Control in Latin America: A Strategic Guide for Global M&A", a comprehensive guide that provides a detailed overview of the latest trends and developments shaping merger control in Latin America. This resource offers key insights for businesses looking to expand or invest in the region, helping them better understand the regulatory landscape and how it impacts the execution of international transactions.
