Global Co-Chair of the Antitrust and Trade Regulation Practice Peter Guryan was quoted in an article titled, “New Merger Guidelines 'Want To Turn Back The Clock,'” which was published by Law360 and an article titled, “‘Dominant Firm’ Threshold Faces Dealmaker Backlash,” which was published by The Deal. The articles discussed the FTC and DOJ’s newly proposed merger guidelines, which laid out their approach to continued rigorous antitrust enforcement. When weighing in on the significance of the proposal, Peter noted, “The guidelines are one step, as part of a larger effort by the agencies to articulate and solidify a more aggressive antitrust enforcement agenda, and ultimately to achieve acceptance of the courts."
