Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP continued its growth in the United States with the arrival of Jamillia Ferris from Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati in September 2022, contributing significant agency experience of complex merger review processes, including both the DOJ and FTC. Alongside growth in its bench, the team also expanded its share of household-name clients, representing Google, Verizon, and eBay in new antitrust mandates during 2022. The team has experience in representing major domestic and global clients in US merger control proceedings, as well as co-ordinating global approvals in concert with its international offices, including in the UK and Europe, and representing clients facing regulatory action by agencies, encompassing investigations and litigation. Practice head Bruce McCulloch continues to be highly successful in merger mandates, notably representing Aerojet in its $4.4bn acquisition by Lockheed Martin, while Mary Lehner is also highly active, advising Cargill on its take-private of Sanderson Farms. Meghan Rissmiller  is another key team member, and is a regular antitrust counsel to major clients such as eBay, while Justin Stewart-Teitelbaum is noted for his work on complex merger investigations.
