Such government experience can be particularly relevant for companies navigating regulatory scrutiny of transactions and other conduct that may raise competition concerns.

Bloomberg Law said the information about Elmore’s appointment, previous FTC position and areas of practice came from Squire Patton Boggs. The original Bloomberg Law report was produced by Bloomberg Law Automation.
