Companies seeking antitrust clearance for their mergers and acquisitions, or that are parties or third parties in investigations and litigation launched by the Federal Trade Commission, the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice, or state attorneys general, turn to Alexis Gilman for experienced and effective antitrust counsel. Alexis leverages years of experience at the FTC, including three years as head of a merger division, to represent clients in a broad range of antitrust and competition matters, including antitrust diligence, merger reviews and clearances, government investigations, Hart-Scott-Rodino and foreign premerger notifications, civil conduct matters, general antitrust compliance and trade association counseling, and antitrust litigation. Having advised clients that range from Fortune 100 firms to not-for-profit entities, his experience spans a wide range of industries, including health care, retail, consumer goods, food and beverage, distribution services, veterinary services, casinos and gaming, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, digital health, technology products and services, and energy, among others.
Alexis’ practice has a particular focus on representing merging parties and third parties in merger investigations by the FTC, DOJ, and state attorneys general. He brings significant prior government experience and knowledge to his client work, having joined the firm after seven years at the FTC, where, as assistant director, he led the 30-attorney Mergers IV Division and worked on some of the agency’s highest-profile matters. While at the FTC, he also had leading roles in and oversaw investigations and litigations in various industries, including hospitals and other health care providers, distribution services, retail, consumer goods, food and beverage, supermarkets, funeral homes, casinos, and online gaming. Prior to this position, he served as a deputy assistant director of the division from 2012 to 2014 and as a staff attorney in the division from 2010 to 2012.
Prior to joining the FTC, Alexis was an associate in the Antitrust Group of a large U.S.-based international law firm, where he represented Fortune 500 companies in U.S. and foreign merger investigations and other civil antitrust matters. He represented pharmaceutical, publishing, retail, chemical, energy, and private equity clients, among others.
Alexis is a frequent speaker at the ABA, American Health Law Association, and other organization events. He received his J.D. with honors from The George Washington University Law School, where he was a member of the George Washington International Law Review. He received his B.A. from Williams College. Alexis is originally from Maine.
