Post-merger acquisitions? (2-4)

I believe the answer is:

in-laws

(Other definitions for in-laws that I've seen before include "Christmas is when you might bid them welcome" , "A person's relatives by marriage" , "Family of your spouse" , "Relations by marriage" , "Spouse's relations" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
