The Knowledge Congress Has Scheduled a Live Webcast “Premerger Notification Compliance and Litigation Update: A 2011 Perspective”

New York, NY, May 16, 2011 --(PR.com)-- The Knowledge Group/The Knowledge Congress Live Webcast Series, the leading producer of regulatory focused webcasts, announced today that it has scheduled a live webcast entitled “Premerger Notification Compliance and Litigation Update: A 2011 Perspective.” This two-hour event is scheduled on June 27, 2011 at 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM ET.

The Hart-Scott-Rodino Act (HSR) was set up to serve as effective guidelines for mergers, tender offers, and other acquisition transactions. Every year, the notifications standards are amended, sometimes significantly. Foreign regulatory authorities have been setting up their own premerger notification programs that affect US companies with global presence. In light of these recent changes, companies, their antitrust attorneys and consultants must have a complete understanding of the fundamentals and latest legal guideline updates and how those may impact their mergers, tender offers, and other acquisition transactions.

A panel of thought leaders and key regulators is being assembled by the Knowledge Congress to help walk you through the fundamentals and updates of HSR and foreign compliance requirements, and explain how to anticipate and respond to objections by regulatory authorities in 2011 in a live two-hour Webcast.
