Please note: The Volume 8 (2013) Symposium took place February 22, 2013.


In light of the regulatory issues raised by the ongoing Softbank/Sprint deal, and the recent Ralls dispute and CNOOC/Nexen mergers, the symposium will address antitrust and national security reviews in cross-border mergers and acquisitions.

The symposium offers a unique opportunity to hear from distinguished speakers and panelists and join their discussion of navigating regulatory issues in investments and strategic alliances in the United States and East Asian countries.
