FOREWORD

On behalf of the ABA Antitrust Law Section, I am pleased to

announce the publication of the third edition of Joint Ventures: Antitrust

Analysis of Collaborations Among Competitors, which addresses the

antitrust issues facing joint ventures and other competitor collaborations

under U.S. law. This edition of Joint Ventures updates the discussion of

case law from the previous edition, offers practical advice to companies

that participate in or are considering participating in competitor

collaborations, and expands the analysis of legal issues confronting joint

ventures or competitor collaborations that implicate certain jurisdictions

outside of the United States.

The Section would like to offer its deepest and sincerest thanks to the

many lawyers and other professionals who contributed to the publication

of this book, particularly the Joint Conduct Committee and the Books &

Treatises Committee. I would like to extend my special thanks to Sarretta

McDonough, who served as the primary editor for this handbook, and

Craig Minerva and Leo Caseria from the Books & Treatises Committee,

for their leadership and diligent work to usher this work through to

completion.
