Abstract
Legal Odyssey of Cross-Border M&A: Global Divergence and Corporate Convergence. The liberalization of global trade and investments in the late 20th century marked a turning point, leading to an upsurge in cross-border M&A activity. Historic transactions such as Vodafone’s acquisition of Mannesmann in 2000 exemplify milestones in this journey. In the contemporary era, cross-border M&A remains a dominant force, characterized by an increasing complexity in deal structures. The post-pandemic landscape has added a layer of adaptation as businesses address issues like supply chain disruptions and remote workforces. This research dissects the multifaceted legal complexities that envelop cross-border M&A. It surveys historical developments, evaluates the current landscape, and anticipates evolving trends. There is a necessity to unravel the intricate legal challenges faced by corporations engaged in cross-border M&A transactions. This research aims to comprehensively explore these challenges, offer insights into legal strategies for success, and spotlight the growing relevance of cross-border M&A in the global business arena. To address the legal complexities entwined with cross-border M&A, this research adopts a comprehensive approach. It encompasses a thorough examination of international and national legal frameworks, scrutiny of due diligence processes, and a deep dive into best practices. In the current scenario is the establishment of a standardized international regulatory framework for cross-border M&A. This framework could streamline and harmonize legal requirements, making it easier for corporations to navigate the complexities of cross-border transactions while promoting fairness and transparency in the global marketplace. This research serves as a holistic investigation into the legal intricacies of cross-border M&A, offering a roadmap for corporations to deftly navigate the challenges and attain success in their global expansion endeavours.
