Merger and Acquisition (M&A) activity is more highly regulated than ever before, a study from an international law firm has shown.
The Worldwide Merger Notification Requirements survey, conducted by White and Case, found that M&A deals are now regulated in 115 jurisdictions across the globe, around double the number in 2004.
Included in the 115 areas are a record 110 separate countries with their own control laws, as well as regional schemes.
China and India were two of the newcomers, with Hong King, Paraguay and Kyrgyzstan expected to follow suit in the near future.
Mark Gidley, head of White and Case's Global Antitrust Practice Group, said: "This mega-trend has been fuelled by globalisation, the rise of the so-called Bric countries [Brazil, Russia, India and China], outreach efforts by US and EU enforcement officials."
Recently, a study by the Centre for Management Buy-out Research revealed that the UK private equity market hit its lowest level since 1995 in the final quarter of last year.
