Jason Daniels, a strategic antitrust advisor, guides market-leading companies in heavily regulated industries through high-stakes business transactions, government investigations, and litigation.

Jason quickly learns clients’ industry landscape and business needs and crafts strategies that protect the business’ bottom line. He brings a background in economics, a commercial perspective, and extensive experience across multiple industries to help clients navigate merger control proceedings and litigation. Having worked across from federal agencies on numerous deals and litigation, he is well versed in their tactics and provides comprehensive advice. He regularly guides clients on:

• • Strategic deal planning in volatile transactional environments
  • Multinational and domestic merger control strategies
  • Litigation risk mitigation
  • The evolving antitrust regulatory landscape, including: guidelines, state filings, and interlocking directorates

Placing a premium on client engagement and service, Jason draws on a keen analytical ability to assess risk, negotiate antitrust covenants, secure regulatory clearance, and — if necessary — defend the transaction through trial.

A recognized leader both within and outside the firm, Jason serves on Latham’s Diversity Leadership Committee and plays an active role in the American Bar Association Antitrust Section, including having served as Vice Chair for multiple committees.
