We work with clients to analyze competitive impacts, prepare Hart-Scott-Rodino filings, work with expert economists and provide advocacy before the FTC and DOJ in obtaining antitrust clearance for mergers and acquisitions. We counsel on strategies to avoid the expense and disruption of a Second Request, including whether to pull and refile, and coordinating the timing of that with the reviewing agency so as to maximize the opportunity for clearance. Through our advocacy, our clients have succeeded in obtaining clearance (and sometimes early termination) in transactions challenged by the FTC and DOJ without undergoing a Second Request.
Clients preparing to be on either side of a joint venture, merger, or acquisition turn to our attorneys for counsel regarding the antitrust implications of the transaction. Our attorneys work to navigate potential antitrust landmines and to ensure that a JV, merger, or acquisition complies with antitrust laws. We stay up to date on guidance from the FTC and DOJ as well as state antitrust laws to counsel our clients as they embark on these deals. We also advise on the composition of governing boards for such ventures, including handling issues related to interlocking directorates and firewalls.
