This course explores how to counsel clients and represent them through an administrative review process when they have a pending merger. Through a simulated merger, students will learn and practice case development and oral advocacy skills, including a practical approach to identifying and resolving antitrust issues that arise during agency review. The course will bring a merger from initial preliminary deal evaluation through Hart-Scott-Rodino notification, investigation and advocacy to the agency. Students will hear from visiting antitrust practitioners and at the end of the semester make a presentation to either a current or former enforcement lawyer.
