      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/videos/319/&quot; title=&quot;Linklater's Schmidt on aggressive antitrust merger reviews&quot; &gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_543cb691_v1.jpg&quot; width=&quot;114&quot; height=&quot;86&quot; alt=&quot;Linklater's Schmidt on aggressive antitrust merger reviews&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&#xD;
Candidate Barrack Obama talked plenty during last year's presidential campaign about the need for more aggressive antitrust merger reviews. Have the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice delivered? We put the question to Jeffrey Schmidt, a partner in the New York office of Linklaters and a former director of the Federal Trade Commission's bureau of competition under President George W. Bush. Schmidt, who will be discussing the antitrust environment at The Deal Economy 2010 conference Nov. 18 and 19, says while there haven't been many high-profile challenges, you can be sure the agencies are scrutinizing proposed acquisitions more closely than they have in years.See the video below or download it at iTunes.   - Suzanne Stevens&lt;p&gt; By &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/&quot; &gt;thedealvideo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

Part of the reason consumer confidence has been so low is because those consumers that would spend do not have access to credit or capital. The capacity to offer credit to consumers will be a differentiating factor and can mean survival for many retailers, explained Ron Greenspan of FTI Consulting Inc. at The Deal's Distressed Investing Conference.&lt;p&gt; By &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/&quot; &gt;thedealvideo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

"Survival will all be about liquidity and leverage" in the retail space, said Holly Etlin of AlixPartners LLP at The Deal's Distressed Investing Conference in Las Vegas. In the video below, Etlin outlines why some retailers will fail and others will survive the economic downturn. The bankruptcies of so many U.S. retail companies will also affect manufacturers worldwide.&lt;p&gt; By &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/&quot; &gt;thedealvideo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

There was more grim news for retailers as early retail sales figures released Thursday morning show that January sales were down. More and more retailers such as Fortunoff Fine Jewelry and Silverware LLC are filing for Chapter 11, but the lack of consumer spending is making it tough for retailers to get exit financing, according to experts. At The Deal's Distressed Investing Conference, Ed Weisfelner of Brown Rudnick Berlack Israel LLP, Ron Greenspan of FTI Consulting Inc. and Michael Cox of the Seabury Group were on a panel that examined if there still are deals to be done in retail and how to restructure in the current economy.&lt;p&gt; By &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/&quot; &gt;thedealvideo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

At a time when consumer confidence is at an all-time low and prominent retailers such as Linens 'n Things Inc. and Sharper Image Corp. are being forced into liquidation, it's hard for lenders to know which retailers will survive. At The Deal's Distressed Investing Conference, a panel including Ron Greenspan of FTI Consulting Inc. discussed what types of retailers can capitalize in the economic environment, how to restructure and where the industry is headed.&lt;p&gt; By &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/&quot; &gt;thedealvideo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

Projections for M&amp;A activity in the first quarter may be dismal, but dealmaking could pick up as the new presidential administration settles in. In this edition of Inside the Deal, David Carney, a principal in Deloitte Consulting's M&amp;A practice, lays out five mega-trends that will drive dealmaking in 2009. He tells The Deal's Suzanne Stevens that they range from the budget priorities of the Obama Administration to recession-driven transactions.&lt;p&gt; By &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/&quot; &gt;thedealvideo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

Economic growth in China and India may be projected to slow in 2009, but that doesn't mean opportunities for foreign buyers will dry up. In fact, the opposite is true. In this edition of Inside the Deal, Anil Gupta, professor of strategy at the Smith School of Business and author of the forthcoming book Getting China and India Right, tells Suzanne Stevens that the opportunity to acquire attractive targets in those developing countries - at bargain prices - has never been better.&lt;p&gt; By &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/&quot; &gt;thedealvideo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

&#xD;
At The Deal's M&amp;A Outlook 2009 conference Adam Blumenthal, a portfolio manager at Blue Wolf Capital Management said he believes that the government has to question everything as it alters the regulatory structure of financial institutions because it is reacting to the economic crisis. "We can expect a level of volatility of government reactions that mirrors the volatility in the financial markets," he said.&lt;p&gt; By &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/&quot; &gt;thedealvideo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

What could an Obama administration may bring to the merger-clearance environment? In this edition of Inside The Deal, Michael Cohen, a partner at Paul Hastings explains to The Deal's Suzanne Stevens that there may be more strategic combinations than in prior years due to antitrust regulation. He also also explores the implications on the Federal Trade Commission's battle of Whole Foods Market Inc. and Wild Oats Markets Inc. integration.&lt;p&gt; By &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/&quot; &gt;thedealvideo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

&#xD;
Deal volume has declined by 38% in the United States in 2008 due to a liquidity crunch. However, it's an opportune time for buyers to find strategic deals in the middle market, according to Howard Lanser, director of mergers &amp; acquisitions at Robert W. Baird &amp; Co. In this episode of Inside The Deal, The Deal's Suzanne Stevens speaks to Lanser about dealmaking opportunities in 2009.&lt;p&gt; By &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/&quot; &gt;thedealvideo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
