Debbie Feinstein, head of the Arnold & Porter's Global Antitrust group, and Jonathan Gleklen, chair of the firm’s U.S. Antitrust/Competition practice, were featured in a Yahoo Finance article about the Biden Administration’s recent antitrust wins, which have prompted executives to reassess new acquisitions in 2024. Feinstein said that the administration's latest rhetoric is “anti-merger,” and as a result, corporate lawyers think some deals may be getting derailed. “Even if they think they can get them through, they think it will take longer, they may have to litigate, and they may want to not have to do that,” she said. Gleklen discussed JetBlue Airways’ acquisition of Spirit Airlines, which was recently blocked by a judge on concerns the merger was anticompetitive and would result in higher prices for consumers. “That’s a more aggressive theory,” Gleklen said, explaining that past airline merger challenges treated commercial air carriers as equals, regardless of the average fare prices. #antitrust #law #legal

Today, we're highlighting the 10th business lesson from Teresa (Terri) Edmunds Dunbar as part of our #DCI25Years series. Forming strategic partnerships has been crucial to DCI's success. Partnering is more than just aligning with other businesses; it’s building relationships that foster mutual growth, resilience, and success. Our partnerships extend our capabilities, bring new ideas and insights, and open doors. They create a robust network that supports sustainability and scalability. Being part of a thriving, interconnected business community is so important! #strategicpartnerships #businessgrowth #collaboration #adaptability #businessagility

In the early days of founding Harrity & Harrity, LLP with John Harrity and another partner, we inadvertently overlooked Rule #1 of business: truly knowing who you're going into business with. Our journey took a significant turn about nine years in when it became evident that our third partner's vision for a smaller, rule-free firm starkly contrasted with the structured and expansive aspirations John and I had. This divergence in vision highlighted the critical importance of alignment from the outset. Navigating this unforeseen divergence was challenging, but it was the fact that we had a written partnership agreement that provided a lifeline, enabling us to part ways and pursue our respective visions. This experience was a profound lesson in the importance of clarity, alignment, and the foresight to plan for the unplanned. It reinforced that while knowing your business is crucial, knowing your business partners is equally, if not more, vital. #BusinessLessons #PartnershipAgreement #StrategicAlignment #BusinessGrowth #Partnerships #AdaptAndOvercome
