TKG Has Scheduled a Live Webcast on The HSR Act and the Various Stages of Merger Investigations

NEW YORK - Sept. 3, 2018 - PRLog -- The Knowledge Group/The Knowledge Congress Live Webcast Series, the leading producer of regulatory focused webcasts, announced today that it has scheduled a live webcast entitled: "The HSR Act and the Various Stages of Merger Investigations: What Economists Should Know and Do LIVE Webcast."  This event is scheduled for Wednesday, September 12, 2018 from 3:00pm to 4:30pm (ET).

Event Synopsis:

Over the past few years, an increasing number of merger transactions have been reviewed and a number of high profile mergers have been denied at trial.  Economists can assist antitrust counsel at each stage of the HSR and potential subsequent merger investigation process. This input is valued both on the agency and merging-entity side of the investigation.  The panelists have experience working for a number of merging entities to provide support including identification of potential targets, identification of antitrust concerns, procurement and preparation of client data for agency review, explanation of relevant data to agency economists and counsel, and preparation of advocacy analyses.

Key topics include:
·         An overview of the stages of merger investigations conducted by the DOJ and FTC
·         A review of the trends in numbers of investigations
·         Examples of assistance from economists at the following stages of merger investigations:
o    Pre-HSR filing
o    Preliminary review post-HSR filing
o    Second request
o    Advocacy Analyses
