As Australia introduces significant reforms to its merger control regime, organisations face new challenges in navigating complex filing thresholds, jurisdictional triggers and procedural obligations. These challenges often require input from legal, commercial and regulatory teams working under tight timelines.

The Merger Clearance App embeds regulatory intelligence into every step of the merger review process. It brings together filing requirements, guidance and workflow tools in a single, intuitive interface. Manual and fragmented processes are replaced with streamlined, collaborative pathways for clearance.

Whether your organisation is preparing its first submission under the new regime or managing filings across multiple jurisdictions, the platform helps you respond with clarity, consistency and confidence.

The CRT Merger Clearance platform helps organisations navigate Australia’s new merger control regime with smart tools that simplify filings, streamline workflows and support confident compliance.

The Merger Clearance App helps organisations manage merger filings with confidence through the following features:

  • Smart Intake – Guided forms that capture key transaction details and automatically assess filing thresholds under the new ACCC regime.
  • Jurisdictional Logic Engine – Built-in rules that flag when filings may be triggered, based on turnover, transaction structure and sector-specific considerations.
  • Workflow Automation – Integrated task flows that support internal coordination and external counsel engagement, reducing manual follow-ups and missed steps.
  • Key Dates and Filing Deadlines Tracker – Real-time visibility into filing status, next steps and key dates to help teams stay ahead of submission requirements and regulatory timelines.
  • Document Repository – A central location for storing draft filings, supporting materials and correspondence
  • Audit Trail & Reporting – Automatic logging of decisions, actions and updates to support internal governance and external review.

The Merger Clearance App is designed for any organisation navigating Australia’s new merger control regime. It supports legal, regulatory, commercial and strategy teams in preparing and managing merger filings with greater speed and confidence.

The platform is especially valuable for in-house legal teams, external counsel, and deal teams working on transactions that may trigger ACCC review. It enables efficient collaboration, clear visibility of filing obligations and streamlined compliance workflows across stakeholders.
