The 2026 Edition of Panoramic Merger Control Is Now Available

The latest edition of Panoramic Merger Control is now available—a renowned international guide offering a comprehensive overview of the fundamental principles governing merger regulation across 56 jurisdictions. Each jurisdiction is accompanied by an at-a-glance timeline, making it easier than ever to navigate complex filing requirements. 

For over 30 years, Freshfields has proudly partnered with Law Business Research to shape and grow Panoramic: Merger Control—a guide that remains an essential resource for businesses navigating global merger control. Our deep, hands-on experience with complex strategic challenges posed by multi-jurisdictional transactions, and with many of the jurisdictions covered, enables us to contribute meaningful, practical insights year after year. 

We also provide an opening chapter, which this year delves into the impact of geopolitical shifts, tariffs and trade wars, and heightened regulatory scrutiny on major transactions.

We are proud to serve as the guide’s principal contributor and global consulting editor. We are also pleased that many national authorities have once again endorsed the accuracy of the chapter covering their respective jurisdictions.
