#401 A Series of Unfortunate Events? Verisk Analytics v. AccuLynx and Lessons Learned
26 oktober 2026 · 27 min
Verisk’s $2.35 billion acquisition of AccuLynx unexpectedly drew FTC scrutiny when Verisk, after announcing its acquisition of AccuLynx, stopped pursuing an enhanced pricing integration with AccuLynx’s competitor ServiceTitan, prompting the FTC to explore a novel “market reset” theory. The Delaware Court of Chancery later held that Verisk could not terminate the deal because its own “willful conduct” was the primary cause of the deal failing to satisfy the HSR closing condition and ordered specific performance. What happened to make this deal go wrong, and what can we learn from it? David Pearl, partner at HSF Kramer, joins Jeny Maier and Brian Auricchio to discuss the FTC's market-reset theory, the distinction between “willful conduct” and “willful breach,” and the implications for drafting merger agreements and assessing antitrust risk.

#394 A Tribute to Randy Picker: Revisiting Episode #74 on the Implications of DOJ's Case Against IBM
7 september 2026 · 40 min
We are re-releasing this episode in tribute to Prof. Randy Picker, who passed away on August 15, 2026. In 2020, Randy joined co-hosts Anora Wang and John Roberti for an episode on the 13-year-long U.S. antitrust case against IBM brought in 1969, exploring how U.S. antitrust dealing with tech ranges from early government cases involving punch cards to government probes into today's platforms, and how antitrust enforcement can impact the technology landscape for decades later. Years later, the episode holds up remarkably well - the questions Randy raised about whether the antitrust past would repeat itself in the tech world remain just as central to today's platform antitrust cases and debates over Big Tech enforcement. We share Randy's episode again in celebration of his generosity, insight, and decades of contribution to antitrust scholarship. Lees meer

#392 Do I Really Need To File? HSR Avoidance and the Edwards/Genesis Settlement
24 augustus 2026 · 38 min
For nearly 50 years, the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act has given antitrust enforcers a chance to review deals above a certain value before they can close. What happens when the government concludes a transaction was structured intentionally to slip past that review entirely? On this episode of Our Curious Amalgam, we speak with Evan Miller of Vinson & Elkins about HSR Act avoidance and the FTC’s record-setting $12 million settlement with Edwards Lifesciences and Genesis MedTech over Edwards Lifesciences’s acquisition of JC Medical from Genesis. We discuss how the JC Medical deal was valued and structured, how the parties' failure to file played a role in the FTC’s separate challenge to Edwards’s contemporaneous JenaValve acquisition, what deal teams should consider when assessing a transaction close to the HSR threshold, what the settlement signals about the FTC’s current approach to premerger notification enforcement, and more.

Singapore’s Competition and Consumer Commission — CCS — has been enforcing competition law for roughly two decades and more recently consumer protection laws as well.

3 augustus 2026 · 42 min

27 juli 2026 · 40 min
Digital financial services are transforming the way we bank, borrow, save, invest, and make payments.

#387 Can Potential Vertical Integration Harm Be (Silver) Screened Horizontally?
20 juli 2026 · 39 min
Vertical merger review has long rested on the principle that competitive harm is most likely when a merged firm has both the ability and incentive to foreclose rivals, yet courts and enforcers often struggle to establish that harm empirically. But can potentially anticompetitive vertical integrations be screened in advance using observable market characteristics? Charles Hodgson, Assistant Professor of Economics at Yale University and Faculty Research Fellow at the NBER, and Shilong Sun, Senior Economist at Compass Lexecon, join Anora Wang and Panos Dimitrellos to discuss how evidence from the Chinese film industry sheds light on when vertical foreclosure is likely to emerge, why downstream concentration and upstream product substitutability matter, and how these findings may inform modern merger review across industries ranging from movie theaters to digital platforms. Listen to this episode to learn more about how a practical screening framework for vertical mergers could help identify when foreclosure concerns are most likely to arise and provide enforcers and practitioners with a more evidence-based approach to assessing competitive harm.

#372 Can a Price Be Put on Harm? FTC Monetary Remedies and the Data-Driven Economy
6 april 2026 · 38 min

#363 The Antitrust Controversy Surrounding Brazil’s Soy Moratorium
2 februari 2026 · 35 min
In 2006, various parties came together to form Brazil’s Amazon Soy Moratorium in an effort to curb illegal deforestation in the Amazon Rainforest. Today, challenges regarding Brazil’s Soy Moratorium continue to mount, with passionate advocacy from farmers, environmentalists, government agencies, and international organizations. What might seem a cut-and-dry conflict between free enterprise and environmental conservation becomes more complicated when we delve deeper. With an antitrust cartel investigation in limbo, a pseudo-private agreement to arguably higher deforestation standards than those instituted by the government, and international observers on the scene, including customers and climate activists, the facts surrounding Brazil’s Soy Moratorium are ripe for unpacking. Our guest today is antitrust attorney Eduardo Frade, who joins Barry Nigro and Anora Wang to discuss Brazil’s Soy Moratorium and the various antitrust and competition questions it raises. Lees meer
