Deidre Johnson, head of Ropes & Gray’s premerger notification practice, spoke to Law360 and Law.com’s Corporate Counsel about the Federal Trade Commission’s proposed rulemaking to update the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) premerger disclosure requirements.

The proposal "really impacts almost every aspect of the HSR process and introduces some completely new things to the mix," she told Law360.

Deidre discussed the proposal’s new disclosure rules for private equity limited partners, required analysis of mergers’ labor market impacts, and other mandates that could greatly increase costs for merging parties.
