• Fundamental: Antitrust Considerations in Negotiating and Preparing for a Merger or Joint Venture

• Managing the antitrust risks of due diligence and pre-signing information exchange
• Negotiating key provisions in the deal agreement, such as allocation of antitrust risk, pre-close covenants, and non-compete agreements
• Strategic considerations around approaching the FTC and state attorneys general
• The role of economists and whether/when to retain them
• Integration planning and gun-jumping concerns during the post-sign/pre-close period
