NATIONWIDE — On September 20, New York Attorney General Letitia James led two multistate coalitions in submitting comments to support proposed revisions by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) to strengthen merger guidelines, which are the standards that DOJ and FTC use when determining whether corporate mergers and acquisitions violate antitrust laws.

In their comments, both coalitions write that the revised merger guidelines will protect workers, strengthen state enforcement of antitrust laws and combat the concentration of corporate power.
