David Brenneman

Position
David Brenneman serves as a key strategist for leading companies and investors, advising them on the antitrust aspects of mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and other strategic transactions.
David draws on more than 15 years of experience defending major transactions before US and international competition law authorities. He routinely advises clients through their highest-stakes antitrust matters, including:
- Global deal clearance strategy
- Second requests
- Premerger conduct counseling
- Clayton Act Section 8 investigations
- Competition investigations brought by enforcers
David advises corporations and global asset managers across a range of heavily regulated industries, from technology and communications to life sciences and financial services. He coordinates winning global strategies for clients facing deal review proceedings in multiple jurisdictions, including before the US Department of Justice (DOJ) Antitrust Division, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and the European Commission.
David also frequently writes on recent developments in competition law, and regularly provides antitrust counseling to trade associations, standard setting organizations, and other consortiums of industry participants.
