Briefing: How Changing the Merger Review Process May Chill the Economy

The U.S. Justice Department (DOJ) and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) are considering significant revisions both to the merger guidelines used to inform judicial decision making and to the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) premerger notification form. If adopted as proposed, these changes will significantly chill the environment for mergers and acquisitions, and the economy as a whole.

Join the International Center for Law & Economics and The Federalist Society for a briefing that will explain the HSR premerger review process and implications of the proposed new rules and guidelines. Our esteemed panel of antitrust practitioners and former agency leaders will offer their perspectives on the impact of these changes.

Panelists include former FTC and DOJ leaders Debbie Feinstein, partner at Arnold & Porter; Barry Nigro, partner at Fried Frank; and Taylor Owings, partner at Baker Botts.

Take-home resources and lunch will be provided. Please RSVP using the orange button above or message [email protected].
