Our company recently navigated the complexities of a significant acquisition, and the antitrust review process was daunting. We engaged Michael Lanci at Skadden Arps based on his firm's reputation and his specific recognition in Litigation - Antitrust. Michael's strategic foresight was immediately apparent. He didn't just react to regulatory inquiries; he anticipated them, crafting a compelling narrative around our transaction's pro-competitive benefits that was crucial in our discussions with the DOJ. His deep understanding of the New York legal landscape and the nuanced theories applied in modern antitrust enforcement was invaluable. While his billing rates reflect the premier market position of Skadden, the value delivered in efficiently steering us toward clearance was undeniable. The only slight critique would be that during the most intense periods, direct responses sometimes came through his very capable associates rather than from him personally, though the work product never suffered. Michael is a sharp, recognized attorney who provides top-tier counsel. We successfully closed the deal and would confidently recommend his services for sophisticated antitrust matters.
