Abstract

Under digital transformation, new legal issues rise in cross-border mergers and acquisitions. Data and privacy protection, transfer and attribution of intellectual property, and antitrust and anti-monopoly investigation are three aspects that need more focus. This paper summarizes the status quo of digital transformation and the trend in three aspects, data, intellectual property, and antitrust and anti-monopoly in cross-border mergers and acquisitions. It highlights how the legal risks associated with these transactions are predominantly due to the significant differences in legal systems, regulatory frameworks, cultural norms, and languages between countries. Through a detailed analysis of these legal risks, the paper outlines effective risk mitigation strategies that incorporate comprehensive due diligence, thorough legal and regulatory analysis, and strategic evaluation. Finally, the article advocates for the development and adoption of internationally unified norms that could harmonize the disparate standards and procedures across different jurisdictions, thereby facilitating smoother digital cross-border mergers and acquisitions in the future. This would not only streamline processes but also enhance legal certainty and investor confidence on a global scale.
