Continue to pursue the DOJ-led antitrust lawsuit to fully block the merger in court.
Support a disciplined court strategy that turns the competitive harm case into a durable legal outcome. Build and reinforce the record with evidence, expert support, and aligned legal briefs so the merger is blocked—or, if a deal is allowed to proceed, the outcome still preserves real competition in local markets. This work is time-sensitive while the litigation posture and any settlement talks are still in motion.
Why this works
- Litigation is currently the central path – it directly challenges the merger on legal grounds and, if successful, results in a clear win (deal blocked).
- It also sets a precedent for future cases (judicial decisions shape antitrust enforcement).
- The involvement of multiple state Attorneys General shows a united front, adding weight.
