(Leading partners)–
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. Its work securing antitrust clearing for The Home Depot’s $18.25bn acquisition of SRS Distribution Inc. is particularly notable. Brianne Kucerik co-chairs the firm’s Washington DC-based US antitrust practice, with experience supporting clients in industries from pharmaceuticals to aggregates. Co-chair Michael Moiseyev has longstanding experience at the FTC, now advising a range of high profile clients in their large, complex deals. Jeffrey Perry, co-chair, also brings FTC experience to his work gaining clearance for deals facing significant scrutiny. Jeff White represents clients in multi-national M&A transactions, in addition to defending clients in high-stakes antitrust litigation. 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.
