When I'm Gone: Antitrust economics and merger reform
Q: So how do you see the role of economists in merger review changing under the new system?
My expectation is that economists will be involved in more deals than they currently are, and they'll be involved at a much earlier stage in the process.
When I'm Gone: Antitrust economics and merger reform
Q: How do you think that's going to affect the outcome of merger decisions with the court's involvement?
It's really unclear whether the HCC will be more timid or more forceful in their decisions.
When I'm Gone: Antitrust economics and merger reform
Q: What are the most significant or the most interesting parts of the new system from an economist's point of view?

Q: Where do you see Gilbert and Tobin in 10 years' time?
Undoubtedly as the number one commercial law firm in Australia.
