Offering a strong focus on regulated industries such as life sciences and tech, the team at Goodwin has a particularly strong focus on strategic merger clearances, successfully preempting Second Requests from the DOJ and FTC, and a successful record in contentious merger cases. The firm continues to be active on high-profile mandates, notably representing iRobot in its proposed $1.7 billion acquisition by Amazon. The practice is jointly led by Andrew Lacy and Arman Oruc. Lacy is an experienced transactional antitrust advisor, while Oruc, who splits his time between DC and Los Angeles, is a key name for merger clearance and antitrust litigation. John Goheen joined the team from Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP in January 2023, expanding the firm’s reach across the tech, healthcare, pharma, retail and financial services sectors.
