Overview
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) published new final rules that significantly alter the US premerger notification filing process under the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Act. The rules now require merging parties to provide substantially more information and documentation in their HSR filings. Likely effective in mid-January 2025, these changes will impact any company involved in deals, making it crucial to understand the new filing regime and its implications.
Join our experienced antitrust lawyers for a comprehensive introduction to the new HSR filing rules. The end of the program will feature a Q&A with a former FTC lawyer who will share his insider’s perspective from six years with the agency.
This webinar is essential for legal professionals, compliance officers, and business executives involved in mergers and acquisitions so they can prepare their companies for the novel requirements.
Discussion topics will include:
- Key changes to the US premerger notification filing process
- Compliance strategies for the new filing regime
- Transaction process changes to promote merger review success
