Eight Advisory and White & Case are hosting a roundtable on Wednesday, May 20 2026 in Paris dedicated to the new merger control guidelines.

At a time when competition policy is more debated than ever, this roundtable offers concrete insights into the ongoing reform led by the European Union.

Lawyers, economists and representatives of the European Commission will share their perspectives on a key issue: the consideration of efficiency gains and the integration of contemporary challenges such as innovation, resilience, investment and sustainability.

Ahead of the public consultation, this discussion will help anticipate the impact of this reform on companies and their advisors.

The roundtable will bring together:

Etienne Chantrel, Partner Economic and Regulatory Advisory, Eight Advisory
Barbara Jouffa , Partner Corporate M&A, Eight Advisory Avocats
Jérémie Marthan, Partner, White & Case
Marion Bailly, Deputy Head of Unit, DG Competition, European Commission
