🎙️ New #OurCuriousAmalgam episode: #295 More or (Even) Less Certainty in EU Merger Control? The European Court of Justice Judgment in Illumina/GRAIL: https://lnkd.in/edS5anRF The European Commission’s attempt to claim jurisdiction under the EU merger rules over Illumina’s acquisition of GRAIL ultimately resulted in a stinging court defeat for the regulator. But why did it lose and what will happen now to merger reviews of “below threshold” transactions in the EU? Nicole Kar, partner at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, joins Matthew Hall and James Hunsberger to discuss the Commission’s 2021 re-interpretation of its powers under Article 22 of the EU Merger Regulation, the European Court of Justice judgment striking that down and the alternative avenues for the Commission or EU countries to claim jurisdiction over killer and reverse killer transactions. Listen to this episode to learn more about how to analyse the risk and practical steps to take in relation to these transactions.

🎧 Listen now to a new episode of Trust and Trade: #38 Mergernomics: Bargaining Leverage: https://lnkd.in/g5kzG2Yw In the latest episode in our popular "Mergernomics" series, Compass Lexecon's Helder Vasconcelos tells you everything you need to know about bargaining leverage theory - how to calculate it, what it means, and when to use it. Hosts Anant Raut and Paula Camara (Mattos Filho) discuss with Dr. Vasconcelos how merger enforcers applied this theory in their reviews of the AT&T/Time Warner and Fresenius/NxStage mergers, and differences between the US and European approaches. The panel also talks about the challenges and limitations of using bargaining leverage theory.

It’s out! The latest edition of Trust and Trade continues our popular Mergernomics series with an episode on bargaining leverage theory - what it is, what it tells you, and when to use it. One of the joys of doing this podcast has been watching it become more international in scope, and in this episode I’m joined by Rio de Janeiro-based Paula Camara, a partner at the law firm Matos Filho Advogados and Dr. Helder Vasconcelos, an SVP of Compass Lexecon in Madrid, who explain what bargaining leverage theory is, and what it can tell you about horizontal and vertical mergers. We then discuss two real-world applications of BLT with unexpected outcomes. The first is the AT&T-Time Warner case, a vertical merger where the judge accepted the theory and the prediction that prices would go up, but not the DOJ’s conclusion. The second is Fresenius-NxStage, a horizontal merger where BLT revealed a surprising concern about a third party. The panel later compares how BLT is used in Brazil, the US, and Europe, and in his closing remarks, Dr. Vasconcelos has a very interesting prediction for how we might see BLT used to evaluate data markets. Special thanks to the Mergers & Acquisitions Committee for co-producing this engaging series! “Mergernomics: Bargaining Leverage” is available on all podcast platforms now! https://lnkd.in/dZtseNHK
