Nicole Kar Discusses Implications of Recent European Court of Justice Decision for Below-Threshold Merger Regulation on Our Curious Amalgam Podcast

Antitrust partner Nicole Kar was the featured guest on the October 14 episode of the Our Curious Amalgam podcast, in association with the Antitrust Law Section of the American Bar Association. In the episode, Nicole discusses why the ECJ recently annulled the European Commission’s decision to review Illumina’s acquisition of GRAIL under Article 22 of the European Merger Regulation, which the Court found does not allow the EC to review below-threshold mergers. She addresses alternative ways that the EC or EU member states could review transactions that fall below the threshold and how she is advising parties after the judgment.
