not sure if true, but some are saying the DOJ might not even bless such a merger (obv i have no idea if the DOJ will get involved)
Exactly. My firm actually does a lot of antitrust, but I don't personally. When one of your reasons for the merger is to "eliminate a competitor" and you settle an antitrust suit but creating LESS competition, you're going to have antitrust problems....
And I also read that neither said actually consulted antitrust counsel in any of these discussions before the announcement.
This sounds like a long ways away from even being on paper, let alone approved.
