Lawyer Rankings
United States > Antitrust > Merger control
Axinn Veltrop & Harkrider is a specialist antitrust firm with a successful record in high-value, strategic merger clearances, focusing on complex and business-critical transactions for major US businesses facing regulatory scrutiny by US and international agencies on a hired gun basis. The firm combines its active merger work with contentious and litigation expertise, representing major corporations in fields such as manufacturing, pharma, and tech against government actions arising from merger activity. The firm is headed up by Michael Keeley, who is prolific in the merger space, representing major repeat clients such as Thermo Fisher and Tyson Foods, alongside New York-based John Harkrider, a vastly experienced antitrust counsel who successfully advised VMWare on its $69bn pending acquisition by Broadcom, and Lisl Dunlop. Bradley Justus is also a key team member, regularly handling FTC, DOJ, and global merger reviews in diverse jurisdictions and industries, with former senior DOJ official Leslie Overton noted for her combination of contentious and non-contentious merger work. James Attridge joined the team in September 2022, having previously served as Chief of Staff at the Antitrust Division. Lawyers are in Washington DC unless otherwise stated.
