SUMMARY:Roundtable with Doug Melamed
DESCRIPTION:The roundtable focused on Prof Doug Melamed’s recent paper titled “Mergers involving nascent competitors”. The paper advances a framework for a narrow prohibition of such mergers\, based on Section 2 of the Sherman Act. More broadly\, the aim with the roundtable was to offer a forum to discuss the law and economics of the treatment of “killer acquisitions” in antitrust policy. \n \nhttps://youtu.be/eaqht7NhBkA		 \nDiscussants: \n\nAllison Stanger\nDavid Bosco\n\nBackground docs: \nMelamed\, A. Douglas\, Mergers Involving Nascent Competition (January 14\, 2022). Stanford Law and Economics Olin Working Paper No. 566\, Available at SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=4009229 or http://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4009229 \n  \n  \nLiterature review on killer acquisitions (5 pages)\, by Sara Guidi and Anouk Van der Veer \n													\n															\n																										 \nDoug Melamed practiced law for 43 years before spending the 2014-15 academic year at the Law School as the Herman Phleger Visiting Professor of Law. He was appointed Professor of the Practice of Law in 2015. \nFrom 2009 until 2014\, Professor Melamed was Senior Vice President and General Counsel of Intel Corporation and was responsible for overseeing Intel’s legal\, government affairs and corporate affairs departments. Prior to joining Intel in 2009\, he was a partner in the Washington\, D.C.\, office of WilmerHale\, a global law firm in which he served as a chair of the Antitrust and Competition Practice Group. His practice included appellate and trial court litigation\, counseling\, and representing clients in matters before government law enforcement and regulatory agencies. He joined WilmerHale’s predecessor in 1971. From 1996 to 2001\, Professor Melamed served in the U.S. Department of Justice as Acting Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Antitrust Division and\, before that\, as Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General. \nProfessor Melamed has received numerous professional awards and honors. He has been the Distinguished Visitor from Practice and an adjunct professor at the Georgetown University Law Center\, and he has authored numerous articles on antitrust and on law and economics.

SUMMARY:Roundtable with Steve Cernak
DESCRIPTION:The roundtable focuses on a retrospective analysis of the Allison(GM)/ZF transaction\, 1993. The Allison transaction illustrates the question of competitive pressure from outside the market that merger guidelines require to define. In the transaction\, the DoJ defined a narrow market following standard static tools like the SSNIP test. The market definition made little sense when compared to actual industry reports. What were the constraints\, if any\, that led the DoJ in the particular case to follow that route\, and reject alternative market definitions? And what teaching can we harvest for contemporary cases? \n				 \nDiscussants: \n\nDoug Melamed\nNicolas Petit\n\n\nBackground docs: \n\nDCI Summary – The GM/ZF (1993) Complaint\nInitial complaint esp. para 35 and following: https://appliedantitrust.com/09_merger_guidelines/07_cases/zf_complaint11_16_1993.pdf\nAllison’s “Why Allison?” landing page\nAllison’s most recent 10-K (Pages 3-23 inclusive are sufficient)\nAllison’s most recent quarterly presentation to investors (Slides 2\, 6\, 7\, and 17 recommended)\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \nThe GM/ZF (1993) Complaint – Natalia Moreno Belloso\, 2022 \n													\n															 \n  \n  \n  \n  \nA Framework for Antitrust Retrospectives – Illustrated by the 1993 Antitrust Case Against General Motors’ Sale of Allison Transmission – Nicolas Petit\, 2022 \n													\n															\n																										 \nSteven Cernak is a respected leader in the international antitrust and competition law community. He served as in-house antitrust attorney at General Motors for more than 20 years\, ultimately responsible for global antitrust compliance\, merger reviews and litigation. As a result\, Steve has experience tackling the toughest antitrust issues\, and explaining them to everyone in an organization from the CEO to workers in the factories. \nAfter leaving GM\, Steve spent seven years at Schiff Hardin’s Ann Arbor office\, serving clients both inside and outside the automotive community. As he did at Schiff Hardin\, Steve now assists clients big and small on a wide array of competition and consumer protection matters\, including compliance programs; joint efforts with competitors; pricing strategies and programs; and merger reviews and filings. \nSteve has served in the leadership of the Antitrust Section of the American Bar Association for more than 20 years\, and is currently the Section Committee Chief. That position keeps him connected to the global community and up-to-date on developments. \nSteve is a prolific writer for The Antitrust Lawyer Blog\, WoltersKluwer’s AntitrustConnect Blog and various Law360\, Lexis and Westlaw publications. The second edition of his textbook of antitrust summaries and materials\, Antitrust Simulations\, was published in 2019 by West Academic. He updates his Antitrust in Distribution and Franchising annually for publication in the LexisNexis Antitrust Law & Strategy Series. Steve is also a frequent commenter on antitrust developments\, both on social and mainstream media. \nSteve is a regular teacher at both the University of Michigan Law School and the Thomas M. Cooley Law School Corporate & Finance LLM program. He also taught for three years at Wayne State University Law School.
