MoFo Webinar: Key Developments in U.S. Antitrust Regulation of M&A Transactions

Please join Morrison Foerster for a one-hour lunch briefing on key developments in the U.S. antitrust regulation of M&A and other strategic transactions. 

Under the Biden administration, the landscape for the review of M&A transactions by U.S. antitrust regulators has evolved significantly, including heightened scrutiny, new theories of competitive harm, and more aggressive enforcement actions.  

With a U.S. presidential election on the horizon, the only thing for certain is that there are more changes to come. In light of the rapidly changing regulatory landscape, a strong practical understanding of the U.S. antitrust review environment is increasingly important for Japanese parties pursuing M&A activities. 

We hope you will join us for a discussion of the current state of U.S. merger control and what to expect going forward. We welcome and encourage your questions both in advance and during the presentation.

Discussion Topics:  

• Impact of the Biden administration on HSR practice – life in the “new normal”

• Potential impact of new HSR rules, including timing and materials needed for inclusion in HSR filings

• What to expect from a new Republican administration

• What to expect from a new Democratic administration 

• State-specific merger control regimes

Speakers: 

• Bradley S. Lui, Partner, Washington, D.C.

• Kerry C. Jones, Of Counsel, Washington, D.C. 

The presentation will be given in English, but Zoom's AI-based simultaneous translation feature will be available. Questions can be submitted in Japanese during the presentation.
