    Profile

    Peter Todaro secures antitrust clearance for high-value mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and other transactions for clients in the United States and globally.

    Leveraging more than 25 years of experience and a sophisticated understanding of the evolving Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) rules, Mr. Todaro deftly guides clients through all stages of US Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) merger clearance.

    Mr. Todaro counsels clients on the full spectrum of antitrust and competition issues that arise during the course of a transaction.

    A cornerstone of the HSR bar, Mr. Todaro forges trusted relationships across the antitrust community and actively participates in the American Bar Association’s Antitrust Law Section. In addition to his work outside the firm, Mr. Todaro also serves on the firm’s Recruiting Committee.
