ANTITRUST  LITIGATION

ANTITRUST

Global antitrust issues require a global strategy. Antitrust matters are rarely isolated within a single state or federal agency or jurisdiction.

Multi-Dimensional Antitrust Challenges

In a global regulatory environment with competition authorities from the U.S. to Europe reviewing transactions, companies need expert, timely, and practical antitrust advice from experienced advisors.

McAllister, Davis & Goldstein is at the forefront of antitrust and competition matters that are increasingly complex and often multi-jurisdictional. Our global antitrust team offers top-flight representation across the full spectrum of antitrust matters. We combine top-quality analysis, a thorough understanding of the law and an in-depth familiarity with regulatory and judicial processes to solve clients most challenging antitrust problems.

We represent clients facing multi-dimensional antitrust challenges on the transactional, regulatory and litigation fronts, mobilizing an unmatched combination of courtroom excellence, government experience and legal, economic and academic prowess on our clients behalf. We offer clients a unique transatlantic perspective that is invaluable in today s increasingly borderless business landscape. Whether responding to a government investigation, defending a price-fixing class action, obtaining approval of a multinational acquisition or representing an antitrust plaintiff in court, McAllister, Davis & Goldstein provides clients with timely, focused advice and a dedicated team to address their needs.

Antitrust Practitioners

McAllister, Davis & Goldstein has a deep and talented roster of antitrust practitioners, many with experience as regulators and prosecutors. Our antitrust transactional clients also benefit from a team that includes several former senior enforcement officials who were deeply involved in the development of merger policy and gained direct experience with how government authorities conduct merger reviews and reach enforcement decisions.

Our integrated, global team approach was built through a regular, decades-long, exchange of lawyers among our U.S. and European offices. Our team collaborates closely to identify potential competition law issues, design and manage clearance strategies, and manage and supervise local counsel, to secure timely merger clearances around the world. In addition to working closely with our corporate team, we frequently draw upon the expertise of our firm s regulatory practices to anticipate issues and to develop strategies for achieving our clients business objectives.

U.S. Antitrust Agencies

Federal Trade Commission adopted new rules that expand
the scope of information and documents parties must
disclose in deals subject to notification under the
Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976.
The Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department
of Justice similarly endorsed the new rules.


The new rules require filing parties to provide more deal-related and ordinary course
documents. Parties will be required to identify and describe the: competitive overlaps,
vertical relationships, and rationale for the transaction.
