Gregory Heltzer
Work Department
Antitrust/Competition
Position
Gregory (Greg) Heltzer focuses his practice on defending mergers and acquisitions and has successfully defended mergers for Constellation Brands, DaVita, Mars, Martin Marietta Materials, Baxter, Olam, TreeHouse Foods, Motorola Solutions, JAB Partners (Coty), Aleris, Worthington Industries, Blackboard and many private equity firms among others.
His advice allows C-Suite decision makers to ensure that time and money are not wasted on potential transactions without a viable path for clearance. When transactions move forward, Greg guides clients through the clearance process with a focus on providing enforcers with the information needed so that the merging parties can avoid or at the very least significantly reduce the scope of a costly/time-consuming Second Request.
Greg analyzes the antitrust implications of most transactions involving a publicly traded company (>800). In addition, he handles complex antitrust litigation, government investigations and antitrust counseling (e.g., information exchange, compliance and firewalls, integration planning, Noerr-Pennington immunity).
