Notable Representations, Key Contacts
We coordinate multi-jurisdictional filings to assure maximum chances for swift approval and protect our clients against the adverse effects of mergers through effective advocacy before various governmental agencies.
Recognized as a “powerhouse merger clearance team” by Chambers USA, Weil helps clients structure transactions and business practices that minimize antitrust concerns. We provide integrated solutions to competition related business issues by collaborating with lawyers in various practices including Mergers & Acquisitions, Intellectual Property, Restructuring and Public Company Advisory Group.
Former Government Officials
Many of our partners were high-level government antitrust officials and formerly headed divisions at the Federal Trade Commission, where they were responsible for the review of mergers and acquisitions in numerous industries, including pharmaceuticals, medical devices, biotechnology, aerospace, defense, industrial, scientific, technology, retail, hospitals and consumer products.
This background provides the group with significant experience and insight into the merger review process and the substantive analysis that may be applied to transactions in these and other industries.
