Sidley Austin Enhances Antitrust Practice with Key Hire from Davis Polk

In the latest move within the high-stakes world of antitrust law, Sidley Austin has announced the addition of Mary Marks as a partner, further strengthening its antitrust and competition practice in New York. Marks makes her transition from the esteemed Davis Polk & Wardwell, bringing with her a wealth of expertise in navigating complex US and international transactions.

Marks is poised to be a valuable asset to Sidley’s team, particularly given her proficiency in the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act’s requirements and global merger control laws. Her professional focus encompasses critical advisory on matters such as pre-clearance and pre-closing coordination, as well as managing intricacies tied to information sharing and addressing inadvertent failures to file under the HSR Act.

The strategic hire underscores Sidley’s commitment to bolstering its capabilities amidst the evolving landscape of antitrust regulation. The move comes at a time when such legal expertise is increasingly demanded, as corporations worldwide continue to navigate the intricate terrain of mergers, acquisitions, and compliance.
