Pravni sistem kontrole poslovnih koncenracija je dvostepen i obuhvata fazu notifikacije, odnosno obavezne prijave planiranih transakcija velikih vrednosti i fazu ocene njihove dopuštenosti, uz uzimanje u obzir različitih kriterijuma koji se odnose na privrednu i finansijsku moć učesnika, strukturu tržišta, pravne i druge prepreke za ulazak na tržište, trendove u ponudi i potražnji za relevantne robe i usluge, mogućnost izbora dobavljača i pristup snabdevanju, interese intermedijalnih i konačnih potrošača, kao i tehničko-tehnološki i sveobuhvatni društveni napredak. U domaćem pravu, legislativnim izmenama iz 2016. godine preventivni aspekt i faza notifikacije dobijaju na značaju, rešenjima Uredbe o sadržini i načinu podnošenja prijave koncentracije i preciziranjem postupka naročito u pogledu: ocene dozvoljenosti zavisno od kvalifikacije veza između učesnika u koncentraciji i povezanih društava, transakcija koje dopuštaju podnošenje prijave u skraćenom obliku kao i indikatora koji upućuju sa visokim stepenom verovatnoće na zaključak o nedozvoljenosti koncentracije. U situaciji značajnog legislativnog zaokreta ka upotrebi egzatnih ekonometrijskih instrumenata i kvantitativnih kriterijuma, u sferi ispitivanja dopuštenosti poslovnih koncentracija dodatno dobija na značaju pravilo rezona. Dualnim principom kvalifikacije i ocene, kojim se precizno utvrđuju unutrašnje korelacije, a onda i spoljne, tržišne veze jednog koncentrativnog ili kooperativnog poslovnog poduhvata, da bi se zatim ocena donela uz uvažavanje specifičnih okolnosti pojedinačnog slučaja - pravo konkurencije na terenu kontrole koncentracija čini najviše da dosegne vrhovno načelo pravičnosti.
