n 2023, US antitrust enforcers have adopted new policies and proposed rules to significantly change the process for M&A antitrust review. Recent changes also impact compliance requirements for JVs and other less-formal competitor collaborations, including data exchanges through third parties. This seminar will cover what Japanese businesses need to know about these changes in US antitrust law, including:
- Major changes proposed to pre-merger “HSR” filing requirements, which will dramatically expand the information and documents
New merger guidelines to evaluate whether M&A is likely to be cleared or challenged by the US antitrust agencies
- Withdrawal of longstanding “safety zones” that protected certain data sharing, joint purchasing, and other competitor collaborations from challenge by US antitrust agencies
We will discuss what businesses must do to comply with new rules, and how businesses can best position themselves for a smooth antitrust review process to get their deals approved.
