Peter Guryan, Global Co-Chair of the Firm’s Antitrust and Trade Regulation Practice, and Simpson Thacher have been named as finalists in two categories for Global Competition Review’s GCR Awards 2024. Peter was named a finalist for “Dealmaker of the Year,” recognizing lawyers whose achievements in merger clearance matters over the past year place them among the best in their field. Peter’s noteworthy matters in 2023 included successfully representing L3Harris on its acquisition of Aerojet Rocketdyne.
Additionally, Simpson Thacher’s work representing HCA Healthcare in FTC v. Louisiana Children’s Medical Center, in which the Firm defeated litigation brought by the FTC over HCA’s sale of three hospitals to Louisiana Children’s Medical Center, has been named a finalist for “Matter of the Year.” GCR highlighted that the decision “shows that the FTC was ‘strained beyond credibility’ when arguing that a transaction could be immune from Section 7 of the Clayton Act but not Section 7A.”
Held annually, the GCR Awards honor the most significant antitrust and competition cases from the past year. Winners will be selected by GCR readers, competition advisors and lawyers, in a vote concluding on February 12. To view the full list of finalists and vote for the GCR Awards, please click here.
