Legal and professional publisher LexisNexis has closed a deal to acquire Caselex, which has built one of the largest merger control databases in the world
Caselex has a database of 52,000 market definitions from 17,000 decisions from 55 Competition Authorities across Europe, North America, Latin America, Asia and Oceania (before transactions can take place, the relevant market must be defined). The content is checked for accuracy and consistency, with insight, analysis and links to aid interpretation added by competition lawyers.
Marc de Vries, founder and CEO of Caselex, which launched in 2015, said: ‘After a journey of seven years, we are excited to have our merger control insight and analysis offering join the LexisNexis family.
‘Access to LexisNexis’ technological leadership and global reach is a fantastic opportunity to extend and expand our coverage.’
