For almost 250 years, our federal system has allowed each state to “serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country.” Nowhere have states more clearly operated in this role in recent years than in the area of protecting the privacy of consumers’ data. Forty-seven states and the District of Columbia have their own data breach notification laws.

Can companies collaborate in the interests of environmental sustainability agreements without breaching competition law in the UK? This important question is tackled by draft guidance published by the Competition and Markets Authority (“CMA”) on 28 February 2023 (“guidance”). The guidance sets out the CMA’s proposed approach to how agreements between competitors in relation to environmental sustainability will be assessed and aims to provide businesses with clarity and comfort on the CMA’s enforcement approach to encourage such initiatives to be progressed. The guidance aligns with the important role the CMA considers it has to play in tackling climate change, as noted in a recent statement by the CMA’s CEO on 25 January 2023.

2015 was a record year for M&A, both in volume and the total value of corporate megadeals. Governments around the world have noticed, scrutinizing such deals for anticompetitive practices and reviewing pending and even sometimes completed mergers. This changing regulatory environment has raised the uncertainties and risks of M&A, particularly on the selling side. Mitigate these risks by assessing and evaluating the relevant regulatory landscape and including conditions — such as reverse termination fees, or hell-or-high- water provisions — in purchase agreements.
