Winston Secures Transformative Antitrust Verdict for States in Live Nation and Ticketmaster Trial
A Winston & Strawn team, led by Jeffrey Kessler, secured an antitrust verdict on behalf of more than 30 states and the District of Columbia, with a Manhattan federal jury finding Live Nation Entertainment and Ticketmaster liable for violating federal and state antitrust laws in a decision that has the potential to transform the concert, music, and ticketing industry. The jury concluded that Ticketmaster unlawfully maintained a monopoly in the primary ticketing market for major concert venues and that Live Nation unlawfully monopolized the large amphitheater market, compelling artists to use its promotion services to access its venues. Jurors further found that this conduct resulted in higher ticket fees, leading to an approximate $1.72 overcharge per ticket for consumers.

Ross Greenspan Discusses Private Equity Continuation Vehicles with Cash and Carried
Winston & Strawn’s Ross Greenspan was quoted in a Cash and Carried article examining the rapid growth of continuation vehicles (CVs) and their evolving role in private equity liquidity and GP‑LP alignment. Most CV transactions allow existing LPs to choose from several options, including a full sale for liquidity, a reinvestment into the CV, or a combination of the two through a partial option. A subset of deals extend a “status quo option,” permitting LPs to stay in the existing vehicle or roll into the CV on the same economic terms of the existing vehicle.

“Baby HSR” or “mini HSR” laws refer to state-level premerger notification and reporting requirements that resemble the federal Hart-Scott-Rodino Act but tend to apply to smaller transactions valued below the federal notification thresholds. These laws, often focused on specific industries like healthcare, aim to enhance state-level antitrust oversight by requiring companies to notify state authorities of mergers or acquisitions that could impact local competition. Filing obligations, timing, and fees vary by state, with some requiring detailed disclosures about the transaction’s competitive impact within the state. State authorities can investigate, challenge, or impose conditions on transactions even if they are cleared federally. Winston’s Baby HSR survey provides buyers and sellers with a resource to quickly start assessing which states may have premerger notification requirements that impact their transactions.
