Antitrust and merger analysis
Bates White professionals and Affiliates help clients in communications industries
with issues related to complex antitrust litigation, including horizontal conspiracies,
monopolization, and vertical restraints. We advise clients on market definition, market
power, and procompetitive and anticompetitive behavior; and we evaluate competitive
effects under antitrust and “public interest” standards. Rapid evolution of
this market, along with more recent phenomena such as cross-platform competition, can
make such matters particularly complex.
Bates White experts also assist clients with antitrust review of merger matters.
Mergers in this industry often involve multiple jurisdictional reviews that include
federal antitrust agencies, the FCC, and state regulatory agencies. We apply our
experience with merger analysis to the special issues affecting this industry in order
to assist merging parties, interested third parties, and government agencies. Increased
globalization of communications firms means that international review is also sometimes
required. Our alliance with ESMT Competition Analysis
enhances our ability to provide antitrust and merger review services on a global scale.
