Practice Area
International trade is essential for the growth and development of global economies and businesses. As international trade has expanded and developed, so too have the myriad rules and regulations that govern it. The global compliance environment is becoming more complex by the day and can be difficult to navigate without the assistance of experienced counsel. Failure to comply with international trade rules and regulations—even if done so unwittingly—can lead to civil and criminal penalties, monitorships, consent agreements, debarment, reputational damage, substantial administrative burden, legal expense, and unsatisfied business objectives. Increasingly, there also is exposure for individual officers/directors, which can include monetary penalties and, potentially, jail time.

Conor Reidy Discusses State Uniform Antitrust Pre-Merger Notification Laws with Private Funds CFO
Winston & Strawn partner Conor Reidy was quoted in a Private Funds CFO article discussing new antitrust pre-merger notification laws enacted by the states of Colorado and Washington. Under these laws, any company required to file for Federal Trade Commission or Department of Justice antitrust division merger review under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act that does sizable business in a given state must file with the state’s antitrust enforcers for review. The pre-merger notification laws aren’t oppressive on their own, but Conor noted that they remain a latent threat, especially if state attorneys general begin to feel that the federal antitrust enforcers aren’t doing enough to protect competition.

“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.
