Global Chair of Fried Frank's Antitrust and Competition Department Bernard (Barry) A. Nigro Jr. recently sat down with Steven Epstein, co-head of our M&A and Private Equity Practice, to discuss dealmaking in the current antitrust environment. Drawing on his experience as a former enforcer at both the DOJ and FTC, Barry offers practical advice for M&A lawyers on how to navigate the heightened scrutiny from regulatory bodies, emphasizing the importance of a proactive approach in understanding antitrust risks and planning for potential litigation. Barry also speculates on near-term changes in the regulatory environment leading up to the 2024 presidential election. #antitrust #competitionlaw #MandA

The latest Fried Frank International Trade and Investment Alert™ highlights the five key sanctions impacting both EU and non-EU transporters (and owners).
