Professional notice
Weil Gotshal & Manges LLP is cited by many as one of the leading Washington, DC-based antitrust practices. Who's Who nominee Steven A Newborn heads the DC team. He is supported by fellow nominee Ann Malester, and a further five partners, two counsel and one consultant.
The group spends around 70 per cent of its time on deal work, with the remainder devoted to litigation. On the transactional side, it secured antitrust clearance for Reuters Group's US$17.2 billion merger with the Thomson Corporation. The DoJ's antitrust division approved the tie-up on the condition that the parties sell copies of certain databases.
The firm handled Staple's acquisition of Corporate Express and Nymex Holdings US$7.7 billion sale to CME Group. It also advised on Education and Media Publishing Group's acquisition of textbook publisher Houghton Mifflin.
On the behavioural side, Weil Gotshal is representing Daimler, Chrysler and Mercedes-Benz in a federal multi-district litigation regarding the alleged import of "grey market" vehicles from Canada.
Other clients include Citibank, ExxonMobil and Johnson & Johnson.
