The ‘exceptionally experienced’ team at Akin, lauded for its ’breadth of knowledge’, has a successful track record in high-value, strategic merger clearances, focusing on market-defining transactions for a range of clients facing regulatory scrutiny by US and international agencies. The practice is well-placed to secure multi-jurisdictional clearance for transactions in concert with foreign counsel and the firm’s global offices, particularly London. Practice head Corey Roush regularly represents clients before the FTC, DOJ and state attorneys general on contentious merger-related investigations and litigation. Gorav Jindal is a vastly skilled figure, overseeing all phases of merger investigations conducted by the DOJ and FTC, while Brian Rafkin advises clients spanning the healthcare, chemicals, tech and semiconductors sectors. Attorneys are based in Washington DC.
