Keith Klovers, former advisor to FTC commissioners Christine S. Wilson and Maureen K. Ohlhausen, represents companies in complex merger reviews, government conduct investigations, and civil antitrust litigation, as well as in complaints brought by US antitrust enforcers.
Keith represents companies in highly scrutinized industries, including healthcare, life sciences, and technology, before the US DOJ and FTC. He leverages an impressive track record of successfully obtaining merger clearances, including unconditional clearances without remedies for high-profile mergers, resolving conduct investigations, and defending clients in antitrust litigation and on appeal before the US government.
Complementing his extensive experience advising clients on day-to-day antitrust issues, he has provided specific guidance to clients related to the antitrust considerations of IP licensing, Robinson-Patman Act compliance, and dual distribution arrangements.
During his tenure at the FTC, Keith advised the commissioners on more than 100 merger reviews and conduct investigations, including litigation, settlements, and Part 3 opinions, and advised on several significant antitrust policy initiatives. Keith also clerked for judge Douglas H. Ginsburg on the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
A prolific writer on current and innovative antitrust trends, his numerous articles can be found in the Antitrust Law Journal, Michigan Law Review, George Mason Law Review, Journal of Antitrust Enforcement, Antitrust Magazine, Health Affairs, and the Journal of Economic and Development Studies, among others.
