USA

Practice Areas

Amanda develops and implements global merger control strategies in “bet the company” transactions. She advises deal makers and other parties in antitrust investigations and litigation before the Federal Trade Commission, Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, and state Attorneys General.

Career

A former FTC lawyer, Amanda is an experienced and versatile antitrust professional with experience in multiple industries. She combines her in-depth knowledge of agency practice with a business-focused approach to getting deals done. Because she understands that mergers typically happen once or twice in a company's lifecycle—and often bring about tremendous uncertainty—Amanda uses her deep experience and creative thinking to counsel clients on making sound day-to-day business decisions that are informed by the client's strategic goals and antitrust risk.

Publications

Amanda frequently publishes articles on antitrust topics with a focus making merger review more efficient. She frequently provides commentary on breaking antitrust news to publications such as The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, National Public Radio, and Associated Press.

Personal

JD, William & Mary Law School, 2004; BA, Business Economics, University of Cincinnati, 2000. Amanda serves as a Trustee for the University of Cincinnati Foundation and leads the University’s Women in Economics initiative.
