Praised for its ability to provide ‘timely and clear advice under complex circumstances’, the Goodwin antitrust and competition team leverages the firm’s M&A market strength to support clients with HSR filings and sophisticated antitrust challenges. Private equity, technology, and life sciences transactions are particular areas of focus for the team, which has growing expertise regarding AI technologies. Antitrust co-head Andrew Lacy advises clients on transaction-related antitrust risk, working alongside co-chair Arman Oruc whose combined experience in merger clearance and antitrust litigation is notable. Paul Jin and Simone Waterbury together lead the merger control practice, Jin a particular go-to for private equity clients while Waterbury, in Boston, regularly handles cross-border deals.
