One of O'Melveny & Myers' competitive advantages is the strong presence of its anti-trust practice throughout the firm's Asian offices, a strategy that recently helped secure a mandate by a Korean petrochemicals group in relation to a global cartel's investigation by the European Commission.
Riccardo Celli and Christian Riis-Madsen led on all the firm's highlight roles. In one on-going deal, the firm advised Firma Lèon van Parys on the Commission's price fixing investigation in the Southern European banana market.
The firm is heavily involved in a number of on-going cartel investigations, playing roles advising the audit committee of a Fortune 25 company and a global semiconductor company.
On the merger side, the firm advised Honeywell International, helping it obtain clearance for a $1.4 billion acquisition of French listed Sperian Protection, being the largest in value terms of three other merger notifications, and Western Digital on its $4.3 billion acquisition bid for Hitachi's hard drive disk business to create the large such company in the world.
