Ep.26 – Menesh Patel on Merger Breakups

Menesh Patel, acting professor of law at UC Davis, joins the Business Scholarship Podcast to discuss his recent article Merger Breakups. In this article, Patel considers whether and when antitrust agencies should challenge consummated mergers that were previously reviewed and cleared through the Hart-Scott-Rodino process. This question in turn interacts with contemporary conversations about antitrust enforcement, particularly in the technology sector. This episode is hosted by Andrew Jennings, a teaching fellow and lecturer in law at Stanford Law School.
