On July 15, 2022, China’s antitrust authority SAMR announced a three-year pilot program beginning August 1, 2022 to delegate the review of certain simplified-procedure merger filings that the agency currently handles on its own, to five of its local branches (“AMRs”) in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Chongqing, and Shaanxi. Each of the five local AMRs will be responsible for a specific geographic area (“Territory”) within China. This article discusses this first step to implement China’s “categorized and classified” merger control review regime under the new Anti-Monopoly Law.

The program will begin with an overview of the ethical obligations with which a lawyer who decides to outsource legal services to a Legal Process Management (LPM) provider must comply. The panel will address common elements of relevant opinions from state and local bar associations, the American Bar Association and the Ohio Supreme Court, and describe how the outsourcing provider can help facilitate the lawyer’s compliance with these elements. In the second phase of the workshop, two attorneys from Fortune 50 law departments, one who focuses on corporate work and one who is responsible for litigation, will describe: (1) their reasons for exploring LPM; (2) the due diligence they performed when selecting a provider; (3) their initial expectations for the relationship; and (4) how the relationship with their selected provider created additional value for their department and company.
