DLA Piper supported Discovery in obtaining merger clearance from AMCU
DLA Piper provided legal support to Discovery Communications LLC, part of the Discovery Group - one of the worldwide leading company among documentary media groups, which broadcasts in Ukraine through Discovery Channel, in obtaining merger clearance from the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine (AMCU) for the acquisition together with Liberty Group (which owns and operates cable networking in 12 countries across Europe) of ALL3Media Holding Limited.
Through this concentration, which is a significant M&A transaction at the European media market, Discovery Communications LLC and Liberty Global Europe Limited ensure joint control over All3Media Holdings Limited, the largest UK's independent television company.
DLA Piper's team for this project was led by Margarita Karpenko, managing partner, and included Galyna Zagorodniuk, legal director, and Dmytro Tkachenko, associate.
