The long-running saga of Illumina’s attempted acquisition of Grail – named so because of the belief that its blood test might prove to be the ‘Holy Grail’ of cancer detection – stirred up significant legal issues with regards to the status of European merger control. Although the European Commission’s involvement in the case was not determinative – the US Federal Trade Commission had already acted to block the merger – it was nonetheless a significant reflection of its inability to intervene in an acquisition that could have had a serious impact on a key market. Edmund Forey , managing associate in the commercial, IP and IT team, reviews the case, the threat of so-called ‘killer acquisitions’ in technologically advanced sectors, how the European Commission struggled to plug this ‘enforcement gap’, and what is next for the future of European merger control.

A year on from the introduction of the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023, a newly published outline transition plan for Companies House has provided some clarity on the timings for further changes. With various measures introduced as a result of the act in spring earlier this year, there remain a number which are yet to come into force – which, together, will amount to some of the most significant changes to UK corporate transparency in 170 years. In this latest article from our corporate team, global head of corporate Matthew Martin , and senior knowledge lawyer Marina Ehrlich , review the most important changes so far, the expected changes for 2025 and 2026, as well as what is not mentioned in the new transition plan.

The latest fashion, luxury and lifestyle round-up from our retail team, led by partners Matthew Martin and Gavin Stenton , reviews the biggest stories in the sector for the month of October. Despite a 'disappointing' financial performance over the previous few years, British luxury brand Mulberry has rejected a second acquisition offer from Mike Ashley’s Frasers Group, which already holds a 37% stake in the luxury handbag maker. Meanwhile, LVMH has announced the sale of its interest in luxury streetwear label Oft-White to Bluestar Alliance, and Richemont, owner of Cartier and Montblanc, is planning to sell its online luxury multi-brand group, Yoox Net-a-Porter, to online shopping platform MyTheresa. Finally – has the reported demise of the high street been exaggerated? Possibly, if the £800 million investment of John Lewis into store makeovers and proposals to transform London’s Oxford Street are an indication of changing times.
