Foley Partner Louis Lehot Quoted in Law360 Discussing FTC, DOJ Overhaul of Merger Guidelines

Foley & Lardner LLP Partner Louis Lehot was recently quoted in the Law360 article, “DOJ, FTC Want to Overhaul Merger Guidelines.”  Lehot commented to Law360 that he saw in the proposed questions government efforts to expand the purview of deals reviewed and to deepen reviews of both vertical and horizontal deals. The enforcers, Lehot said, also appear keen to “lower the concentration thresholds that would establish a presumption of competitive harm” and look at more non-price factors that could be affected.
