On 20 June 2024, Rajah & Tann Asia organised a webinar titled “Merger Control in Southeast Asia – Key Pain Points”.
Drawing from the collective expertise of our lawyers and economists from our Regional Competition & Antitrust and Trade Practice, spanning across Southeast Asia, the discussion focused on the updated merger control regimes in key locations where Rajah & Tann Asia operates, including Cambodia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. They explored the intricacies of notification thresholds, filing requirements, and review processes, providing actionable insights for effective communication with local regulators and handling multi-regional jurisdictional filings. Additionally, they examined timelines, managing expectations, and considered how requests for remedies could add layers of complexity to these matters. They also touched on recent developments and trends in merger control enforcement.
The speakers comprised Kala Anandarajah, BBM and Tanya Tang (Rajah & Tann Singapore); Heng Chhay and Ly Sopoirvichny (Rajah & Tann Sok & Heng); Vovo Iswanto and Anastasia Pritahayu (Assegaf Hamzah & Partners); Melisa Uremovic and Kittipol Chamsawarng (R&T Asia (Thailand)); and Vu Thi Que and Cao Dang Duy (Rajah & Tann LCT Lawyers).
