PREFACE

The Antitrust Section’s Corporate Counseling Committee conceived

of this volume as a helpful guide to those lawyers who are asked a wide

range of antitrust questions, particularly internal counsel who are

frequently asked questions by businesspeople looking for quick, clear

and concise answers. Frequently Asked Antitrust Questions is designed

for precisely those situations.

Many people provided valuable assistance to the creation of

Frequently Asked Antitrust Questions. The initial drafting effort was led

by Steven J. Cernak, ably assisted by a large number of Section and

Committee members, including Stephen W. Armstrong, Christopher Dee,

Nancy M. Lambert, Gil Ohana, Steve Ormond, Paula W. Render, Bilal

Sayyed, Patrick M. Sheller, Richard J. Wegener, Dennis White, and

Eugene F. Zelek. Former Committee Chair Alan L. Silverstein and

Committee Vice-Chairs Milton A. Marquis and Michael B. Miller led the

effort to finalize the drafting and to prepare the volume for publication.

Thanks too to Dara J. Diomande and Jonathan M. Jacobson of the Books

and Treatises Committee for their work in the editing process. We are

grateful for the hard work and expertise of all of those who participated.
