Litigation partner Jeannie Rhee and antitrust partner Scott Sher spoke with Legal Business about helping clients navigate the dealmaking landscape in an era of increased antitrust enforcement by the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice. In “To Live or Die in DC – Getting Deals Done Amid US Antitrust Crackdown,” published on June 26, Scott stresses the importance of understanding the agencies’ approach to a client’s deal and industry, which enables legal advisers to provide agency staff with the information they need for their analysis, thus potentially obviating an extended review. Jeannie observes that adding attorneys with antitrust agency experience can be useful for law firms, but that attorneys’ cultural fit and compatibility with clients is of paramount importance in building a practice.
