Steptoe's Representation of Amex GBT in DOJ Dismissal Given Shout-Out in AmLaw Litigation Daily's Litigator of the Week

Overview

The Steptoe antitrust team representing Amex GBT throughout the DOJ Antitrust Division's investigation was given a shout-out in The AmLaw Litigation Daily Litigator of the Week Runners-Up and Shout-Outs.

Steptoe's antitrust team represented Amex GBT throughout the DOJ Antitrust Division's investigation and, in collaboration with Skadden, in the subsequent litigation. The DOJ's decision to dismiss the complaint marks a significant milestone in the transaction process and clears the path for Amex GBT to move forward with its acquisition of CWT, a global business travel and meetings solutions provider.

The Steptoe team representing Amex GBT was led by Michael Weiner, and included partner Lee Berger and associates Weisiyu Jiang, Travis West, Rachel Carlo, Andrew Magloughlin, Madi Carr, and Peyton Thomas.
