Sweeping changes to the rules for filing premerger notifications under the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Act will transform the process for mergers and other transactions. Under these radical changes, HSR filings will take much more time to draft and will require the disclosure of many more documents and information. In addition, for every filing, parties will be required to submit descriptions of the antitrust issues that could exist (or why they do not) for every deal. This will likely result in significantly higher transaction expenses and longer times to close.
As the Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission double down on merger enforcement, it is critical that businesses understand the impact and challenges of these changes. During this webinar, members of our Antitrust and Corporate Practices will provide practical guidance on issues including:
- What are the most significant changes?
- How will the new rules affect deal timing and costs?
- What risks do you need to consider?
