Competition Law Treatment of Joint Ventures in the COMESA region
The Mergers Working Group (MWG) of the Antitrust Committee of the International Bar Association (IBA) has formulated the first multi-jurisdictional survey dedicated exclusively to the competition law treatment of joint ventures across 22 jurisdictions.
The survey considers critical issues and questions that businesses and their advisers face when dealing with Joint Venture transactions in light of merger control and substantive antitrust laws, in order to provide an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of the state of the law.
Pieter Steyn, Director in the Competition Practice Area at Werksmans, authored a chapter on the COMESA region in the Concurrences publication: Competition Law Treatment of Joint Ventures – A Jurisdictional Guide.
