White & Case LLP‘s global reach is key to its antitrust team’s work on cross border mergers, with a growing practice handling matters which require clearance throughout the Middle East and North Africa. The team’s capabilities in large-scale domestic matters is exemplified by its work as antitrust counsel to Albertsons in its $24.6 billion merger with Kroger. Rebecca Farrington co-chairs the antitrust team in Washington DC alongside J. Mark Gidley, focusing her practice on government merger and non-merger investigations, private antitrust litigation, and antitrust counselling. George Paul is a go-to for global matters, with experience supporting high profile companies in their regulatory investigations and merger reviews covering multiple jurisdictions. Heather Greenfield has notable experience in the pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and healthcare industries, while Anna Kertesz often advises large scale technology companies, with experience supporting Meta and WhatsApp. Tamer Nagy is recommended for his work on multijurisdictional mergers: his experience before competition agencies in Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia is extensive. Gabriela Baca has notable experience working with private equity clients. All attorneys based in Washington DC unless otherwise stated.
