  • The Washington, DC Antitrust Bar
    Americas The Washington, DC antitrust bar As Washington, DC is roiled by political turmoil, its antitrust bar remains deeply rooted and largely stable – as well as the biggest and arguably most important in the world. Pallavi Guniganti and Charles McConnell review the merits of more than 40 competition practices in the US capitol Washington, DC is unquestionably a different place – Walgreen Boots Alliance’s acquisition of rival retail than it was two years ago, when GCR last surveyed pharmacy chain Rite Aid – has been cut down to a the city’s antitrust bar.

  • GCR’S Largest Government Antitrust Survey
    US GOVERNMENT ANTITRUST Washington, DC’s leading firms for government antitrust On the occasion of the 59th annual ABA Spring Meeting, Rachel Bull and Ron Knox visited Washington, DC to conduct GCR’s largest government antitrust survey N 10 March, the public relations team at Howrey LLP sent out a five-paragraph press release, delivering the news that many in the legal world had expected for weeks. OBob Ruyak, the firm’s chairman, did not mince his words. “The firm had experienced disappointing financial performance over the past two years and subsequently several partners had resigned,” Ruyak said. “This resulted in the conclusion that an orderly wind-down of the firm’s activities over time was the only practical alternative.” And with those two sentences, the largest antitrust group in the world was no more. Howrey’s demise meant sweeping changes throughout the global antitrust bar – none more significant than those in Washington, DC. The loss of Howrey meant the gain of top- flight talent and clients for other local practices. In some cases those practices had antitrust presences in markets outside the state but had the room – and lack of conflicts – to take on big teams from the former powerhouse. Those haven’t been the only changes since GCR last surveyed the DC antitrust landscape. Leading antitrust groups have taken on new talent as former enforcers moved into private practice; firms with major presences in Europe have pushed into the district’s upper echelon; and a renewed taste for blockbuster deals in a healing economy has given the best teams a constant flow of work.

  • Young People Take Their Rightful Places As Full and Contributing Members of a World Class Workforce…
    Young people take their rightful places as full and contributing members of a world class workforce… Philadelphia Youth Network ANNUAL REPORT 2006 Contents Letter 1 Project U-Turn 3-5 WorkReady 7-9 Partnerships 11-14 Financial Report 15-17 Partners/Supporters 18-19 Acknowledgements 20 Board/Staff 21 Youth Profiles Shardell Martin 2 Lance Lopez 4 Latoyia Hall 6 Chris Davidson 8 Samantha Domenech 10 Kadeem Washington 12 Dear Colleagues and Friends: The title of this year’s annual report has particular meaning for all of us at the Philadelphia Youth Network. The phrase derives from PYN’s new vision statement, devel- oped as part of our recent strategic planning process, which reads: All of our city’s young people take their rightful places as full and contributing members of a world class work force for the region. Implicit in this statement is a belief that too many of the young people we serve have limited access to workplace experience and social networks that can lead to occupations that are in demand today in our regional economy. And that in order to take their rightful places in that economy, we need to equip these young people with the skills and habits of work that will enable them to compete successfully for those jobs. While we are not yet close to achieving this vision, 2006 saw clear movement in that direction: Project U-Turn, the City-wide campaign to address Philadelphia’s dropout crisis, was launched in October. As a result, the City became aware of the magnitude of the problem, and also came to understand what can be done about it.
