New Merger Guidelines: Effects on Merger Enforcement and Transaction Strategy in 2024

January 24, 2024

Members of O’Melveny’s Antitrust & Competition practice will host a CLE webinar on Wednesday, January 24, at 1:00 pm ET to discuss the Final Merger Guidelines, which explain the FTC’s and DOJ’s approach to reviewing proposed mergers.

Our expert panel, which includes former senior DOJ and FTC officials, will explore key elements of the Merger Guidelines and discuss how companies should expect the US antitrust agencies to evaluate transactions.

Published on December 18, 2023, the guidelines retain the core substance of their July draft and reflect the antitrust agencies’ aggressive approach to merger enforcement. Our discussion will help in-house counsel navigate the implications of the guidelines, which could result in significantly more transactions being subject to scrutiny and challenge.

Presenters: Julia Schiller, Pete Herrick, Sergei Zaslavsky
