In a number of jurisdictions, antitrust authorities may
challenge consummated mergers even when the parties were not
required to report those deals in the first instance or where the
parties reported the deals, but the authorities did not initiate
challenges after their pre-closing review. This article identifies
some examples of merger challenges in these circumstances and other
antitrust risks that arise with nonreportable mergers, and
discusses lessons parties should draw from the antitrust
authorities’ enforcement practices.

Sterling’s 2019 Antitrust Annual Report, “Risks for
Consummated Deals Even Where No Notification
Requirements.”
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
