In this episode, partner and head of the UK competition team, Sarah Smith, speaks with Paul Reeve from economists RBB about what happens when you make a merger notification to the CMA.

Paul and Sarah talk through a hypothetical transaction in the retail sector in order to demonstrate how the CMA look at what products compete with each other, the area in which they compete and how a merger’s effect on competition is assessed.
