We are proud to have played a leading role in this year’s edition. Founding partner Jean-François Bellis and competition practice co-head Porter Elliott once again served as the editors of the guide and authored its Introduction, offering an overview of key developments and trends shaping merger control globally.

VBB lawyers also contributed three jurisdiction-specific chapters:

• The EU chapter was authored by Porter Elliott, Catherine Gordley and Niharika Parshurampuria.
• The Belgian chapter was authored by Peter L’Ecluse, Koen T’Syen and Amirsalar Kavoosi.
• The UK chapter was authored by Becket McGrath and Marc Freedman.

We congratulate all of the contributors to this year’s edition and are delighted to be in such distinguished company. We also extend our thanks to Chambers and Partners for once again bringing together this valuable global resource for practitioners and businesses navigating merger control rules around the world.
