Our company recently faced a challenging situation when the FTC raised significant concerns during the review of our proposed acquisition of a key competitor. The potential for an antitrust challenge threatened to derail the entire deal. We engaged Howard Feller based on his sterling reputation, particularly his leadership role as the former Chair of the ABA’s Antitrust Law Section. That experience was immediately evident. Howard and his team conducted a masterful analysis of the market dynamics and crafted a compelling narrative for the regulators, focusing on pro-competitive efficiencies we had documented. His deep knowledge of both the legal precedent and the practical realities of agency review was invaluable. He guided our executive team through every step with clear, strategic counsel, ultimately helping us negotiate a consent decree that allowed the transaction to proceed with minimal operational disruption. The outcome was a testament to his expertise. If I had one note, it would be that communication from his junior associates during the initial data-gathering phase could occasionally lag, requiring a follow-up nudge. However, Howard himself was always accessible for critical discussions. For any business navigating the complexities of antitrust law, especially mergers or government investigations, Howard Feller is an exceptional choice.
