Mergers and strategic alliances are subject to scrutiny prior to their legal marriage by way of the HSR Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976. HSR and its various amendments give the government a chance to stop an anti-competitive acquisition before it is closed.
The resources required to understand and meet the demands of the current HSR criteria are often significant for corporations who rarely investigate potential mergers or alliances. What is the best way to reduce the learning curve and production inefficiencies?
Partner with Merrill to manage the process.
