Peter Brann breaks down the antitrust lawsuit by state attorneys general targeting one of the biggest media deals in history, the $111 billion merger between Hollywood titans Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. In a deal that could change the global entertainment market, Brann weighs in on what states should be watching as the litigation unfolds. "I'm sure that the lawyers in the antitrust world already know this, but it’s clear that even if you get a clean bill of health from the federal government, you can’t just assume you’re good to close a deal," he said. "They really need to pay attention to whether the states are interested in this."
