Regularly taking on complex, cross-border transactions, the Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP antitrust team leverages the private and public sector expertise of its team to advise clients on their high value merger projects.

The technology, retail, and energy sectors are areas of expertise for Megan Granger, who regularly conducts advocacy before both US and international agencies: also a strength for Elizabeth Ross. The team was bolstered in September 2024 by the addition of Jasmine Rosner, formerly of Amazon, and Mark Seidman, former head of the FTC Mergers IV Division.
