# Getting Your Deal Through DC: Avoid Delay, Difficulty and Dissension

 January 29, 2008 from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm (EST)

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) challenged thirty-two mergers and acquisitions in the past year.

Kelley Drye invites you to an exclusive event featuring Jeffrey Schmidt, Director of the Bureau of Competition of the Federal Trade Commission, the official in charge of the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Premerger Notification Program. During this program, [Bill MacLeod](https://www.kelleydrye.com/people/william-c-macleod) of Kelley Drye’s Antitrust and Competition Practice Group will interview the Director and describe some of the mergers they have handled.

Join these experts as they speak candidly on anticipating and avoiding the challenges that could hinder your deal’s approval by the federal regulatory agencies.
