Past merger assessment in the technology sector

Lear is pleased to announce a research and evaluation project for the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) looking at approaches to assessing potential theories of harm and evaluating past merger decisions in the technology sector. Lear will identify which theories of harm Competition Authorities should investigate when facing a merger in the technology sector and what type of evidence they should rely on to predict potential competition. Moreover, Lear will provide an ex-ante and ex-post assessment of selected UK cases, to ascertain whether the CMA’s decision was reasonable and it proved to be correct.
