What to Learn from the FTC Consent Orders Breaking Up Consummated Mergers
ExecSense, Sep 2010, Minutes: 60
In What to Learn from Recent FTC Consent Orders Breaking Up Consummated Mergers, the analyst examines recent high-profile FTC consent orders requiring already-combined companies to divest assets – as well as other pending FTC court challenges to consummated mergers and what antitrust lawyers should be doing for their clients as a result. Take the 60 minutes to view this webinar (on your computer, mobile phone, iPod, iPad, Kindle or printed out) to be in-the-know on this important topic, be ready to answer key questions by clients about this increased scrutiny of consummated mergers, and learn what you can do to help your clients avoid post-merger challenges by U.S. antitrust officials.
Upon ordering, we will email you a link to download the webinar files for viewing on your computer, mobile phone, iPod, iPad, Kindle or printed out. The downloaded files will include the PowerPoint presentation, audio narration and jpeg images of the slides (for watching on your mobile media device). Take advantage of your next commute, flight, business trip, lunch, or free hour in your schedule to view this webinar.
The webinar is led by an expert on the ramifications of this antitrust enforcement trend, David Goroff (Foley & Lardner LLP), and focuses on:
- Everything you need to know in 60 minutes about recent FTC orders breaking up consummated mergers and the increased risk of challenges to consummated deals in general – and how antitrust lawyers should be adapting their strategies accordingly
- A comprehensive overview of recent high-profile FTC consent orders breaking up consummated mergers (including the July 2010 settlements with Houghton International Inc. arising out of its 2008 merger with D.A. Stuart GmbH and with Fidelity National arising out of its 2008 acquisition of three LandAmerica Financial, Inc. subsidiaries) and other pending FTC court challenges targeting already-combined companies (including The Dun & Bradstreet Corp. and Ovation Pharmaceuticals)
- New strategies for actions that companies should be taking before an acquisition closes to minimize the new risks of a post-consummation antitrust inquiry, particularly for mergers that fall below the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act notification threshold
- Advising clients on the five post-closing behaviors (e.g., a dramatic price hike, customer complaints about anticompetitive behavior, etc.) most likely to trigger a post-consummation antitrust inquiry
- The 10 questions being asked the most by antitrust lawyers and their clients with respect to what will cause the FTC to challenge a consummated deal, and what actions they can be taking to minimize the risk of a post-merger antitrust challenge
- Case studies of what other antitrust lawyers are already doing for their clients based on this new enforcement trend and the types of post-merger situations most likely to now trigger an antitrust challenge
