In the latest instalment of Cleary Gottlieb’s Antitrust Review podcast, host Nick Levy is joined by the team of lawyers who represented Illumina in its landmark appeal to the European Court of Justice, which overturned the Commission’s assertion of jurisdiction under the EU Merger Regulation over below-threshold mergers on September 3, 2024.
