Axinn Represents Google in its $700 Million Acquisition of ITA

Axinn was co-lead antitrust counsel to Google in its $700 million acquisition of ITA Software, Inc. that was approved by the U.S. Department of Justice on April 8, 2011.  In addition to counseling Google throughout DOJ's extensive investigation, Axinn led several sustained rounds of advocacy before and negotiation with DOJ that ultimately led to a settlement that ensured that Google remained free to develop innovative new products and services and fully leverage its new acquisition.  The Axinn team was led by attorneys John Harkrider, Russell Steinthal and Daniel Bitton.
