Essential Antitrust #23: Merger challenges in US courts: deciphering US antitrust agencies’ recent string of defeats

In this latest episode of our Essential Antitrust podcast our host Jenn Mellott is joined by Jamillia Ferris and Julie Elmer, antitrust partners in Washington DC, and Martin McElwee, antitrust partner in London and Brussels, to discuss the implications of merger challenges brought by US agencies for both US-focused deals and deals that face broader international scrutiny.
