He regularly counsels clients on antitrust compliance in connection with commercial arrangements, including M&A, joint ventures, and IP licenses. He advises clients on strategies to mitigate antitrust risk, while achieving business objectives.
Mr. Bermann will moderate the April 10 panel “Airline Mergers: Flying High or Flying Blind?” The panel will focus on the government’s successful challenges to American Airlines/JetBlue and JetBlue/Spirit Airlines, as well as the implications of those cases for future airline transactions. Mr. Bermann is the Co-chair of the Section’s Transportation and Energies Industries Committee. He previously served as a Trial Attorney at the US Department of Justice, where he was a member of the successful litigation teams in both cases.
