Client Alert | 1 min read | 01.16.07

Today the Federal Trade Commission released its annual revisions to the jurisdictional and filing fee thresholds applicable under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the “HSR Act”).

These revisions will become effective thirty days after their publication in the Federal Register.
