Merger in the hazardous waste landfill industry

While seconded to the Competition Bureau, a current Brattle principal consulted with the Bureau on its review of an acquisition of a hazardous waste landfill in northeastern British Columbia. This work included developing theories of harm, empirically estimating the anticompetitive effects from the merger, calculating the deadweight loss associated with the transaction and assisting with testimony before the Competition Tribunal. It also involved assisting with the Bureau’s submissions before the Federal Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada.
