The team at Freshfields LLP was strengthened in 2024 by the September addition of Kevin Yingling, formerly of Google, and former FTC Commissioner Christine Wilson in February. Wilson now heads the Washington DC-based team, which works closely with global colleagues to handle multi-jurisdictional deal clearances. The team regularly handles high value deals for clients including eBay, Johnson & Johnson, and AstraZeneca, and represented Viterra Limited on the global merger control and foreign investment regulation aspects of its $34 billion merger with Burge Limited. Mary Lehner remains a go-to for large companies in their merger control matters, and Meghan Rissmiller is particularly noted for her work in the telecoms and life sciences arenas. Jennifer Mellott works between DC and Brussels, advising clients on multi-national transactions, and Justin Stewart-Teitelbaum also has experience representing clients in mergers before the European Commission. Jamillia Ferris departed the team in May 2024.
