Microsoft Levels Up In Merger Game Against FTC
Microsoft, the maker of XBox, and Activision Blizzard, creator of Call of Duty, cleared an early stage this week in the multilevel game of getting their $68.7 billion dollar merger approved. The gaming giants saw a California federal judge refuse the Federal Trade Commissions’ move to block the merger, but the government is appealing and other countries aren’t sold on the tie-up either. We discuss what it will take to beat the merger challenge game. Also this week, we talk with Law360 senior reporter Jack Karp, who has been investigating the struggle to clear old felony pot convictions under New York’s recent law legalizing marijuana. Finally, we break down a recent fight between Twitter and law firm Wachtell Lipton Rosen & Katz over fees the BigLaw firm charged last year related to Elon Musk’s $44 billion acquisition.
