 An area where State Attorneys General are becoming increasingly involved is the review of corporate mergers. These reviews are generally undertaken by a group of states with one state principally responsible for coordinating the joint review. Some states may also review a proposed merger jointly with the U.S. Justice Department. As the Microsoft case demonstrates, a settlement with the federal government does not assure a settlement with all the participating states. In these situations it is important to not only work with the federal anti-trust reviewers, but the states as well. |
