Recommended for its ‘deep commitment to understanding the business and the competitive landscape’, the antitrust and competition team at Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP provides a merger control offering with particular experience representing private equity firms facing antitrust scrutiny, and has a track record securing clearance in the US, across Europe, and globally. Practice co-heads Jeffrey Korn and Wesley Powell work out of the New York office: Korn ’possesses exceptional strategic vision’, and Powell is noted for his experience before the FTC, Department of Justice Antitrust Division, and states attorneys general. In Washington DC, Katrina Robson is lauded for her expertise in the media and telecoms sectors. The team was strengthened in March 2024 by the arrival of Robert Lepore, formerly of the DOJ.
