Illumina announced in December that it would divest GRAIL, the result of a merger challenge with many twists and turns both in the United States and in Europe.
In this episode of the “Fierce Competition“ podcast, Skadden attorneys Julia York (partner, Washington, D.C.), Ingrid Vandenborre (partner, Brussels) and Michael Sheerin (counsel, New York) talk about the three-year Illumina-GRAIL saga. In particular, they focus on three key areas of the Fifth Circuit's ruling that appear most likely to impact future merger enforcement efforts in the United States.
Tune in to hear about Illumina’s divestment of GRAIL, how it got there and what we can learn from this winding legal battle.
