Europe: Antitrust/Competition Law

Küresel ve ulusal ölçekte şirketlerin büyüme stratejilerinde sıklıkla başvurdukları birleşme (Merger) ve devralma (Acquisition) işlemleri, yalnızca taraf şirketlerin yapısını değil, aynı zamanda pazarda yoğunlaşmaya yol açarak rekabet dengesini de doğrudan etkiler.

Mergers and acquisitions, which are frequently used by companies in their growth strategies on a global and national scale, directly affect not only the structure of the parties involved but also the competitive balance by leading to market concentration.

The prize draws and competitions (PDC) industry has grown rapidly in the UK in recent years. The market is smaller than the National Lottery but still significant. It is estimated that around 7.4 million adults (14% of the adult population) have participated in PDC's in the last year (as of November 2023), spending an estimated total of £1.3 billion.
