Bremer brings together the practitioners and deal teams who are getting ahead,
and going beyond.
Webinar Merger Control in the MENA Region
Since Saudi Arabia introduced its active merger control regime in 2019, merger control enforcement has expanded rapidly across the MENA region. Morocco increased enforcement activity beginning in 2021, Egypt implemented its pre-closing notification regime in 2024, and the UAE recently broadened the scope of its merger control framework through new turnover-based thresholds. Join us for a discussion on current enforcement trends, pending developments, and the practical impact these evolving regimes are having on deal structuring and transaction timelines across the region. The panel will feature Nicolas Bremer, Chaimae Abbou, Mohammed Janahi, and Rana Khoweiled, moderated by Frédéric Jenny.
Navigating Merger Control in MENA: Key Trends, Risks, and Strategic Considerations
This webinar will explore key developments across the GCC and wider region, highlighting the shift from formality-driven processes to more substantive regulatory scrutiny.
Panel on Merger Control and Antitrust in the Middle East and Africa
On 25 March 2026 alongside the ABA Antitrust Spring Meeting BREMER hosted a discussion with Dr. Willard Mwemba, the CEO of the COMESA Competition and Consumer Commission (CCCC). Dr. Mwemba provided insights into the evolving authorities of the CCCC with a more pronounced consumer protection mandate, the new mandatory and suspensory merger control regime, new provisions specifically addressing the digital economy, and stronger enforcement regime established with the COMESA Competition and Consumer Protection Regulations, 2025, which entered into force in December 2025.
