As a Partner in the New York office of Skadden, Mr. Keyte handles a wide

In the litigation area, Mr. Keyte has handled a number of

other restraints of trade and class actions. In addition, Mr. Keyte has
handled or played significant roles in a number of sports-related litigations
and trials, including several high-profile matters for the NHL, NFL, and NBA.
He played a key role in the NHL’s successful litigation against Madison
Square Garden LP, as well as an attempt, through bankruptcy, to relocate the
Phoenix Coyotes over the NHL’s objection. Recently, Mr. Keyte represented the
NHL in a class action litigation involving the live broadcast of NHL games
and led the team that defeated that damages class by excluding the
plaintiffs’ economic model after a three-day hearing. Mr. Keyte also played
an instrumental role in the NFL’s successful jury verdict in a billion-dollar
case brought by the Oakland Raiders in California state court.
In the transactional arena, Mr. Keyte has represented

bankruptcy) with respect to its merger with US Airways; Anheuser-Busch InBev
with respect to the government and private challenges to its merger with
Modelo; Express Scripts in a private challenge to its merger with Medco;
Sprint in its challenge to the unconsummated AT&T/T-Mobile merger; and
Ainsworth in its successful merger with Norbord. Mr. Keyte also represented
The Coca-Cola Company in its successful acquisition of Glacéau and its
partial acquisition of Honest Tea; DigitalGlobe in its acquisition of GeoEye;
Toshiba in its acquisition of Westinghouse’s nuclear division; Alcatel in its
acquisition of Lucent Technologies; Caesar’s Entertainment in its acquisition
by Harrah’s; and a number of private equity firms, including in the
acquisition of MGM by Sony Corp. and the sale of Westwood One to Dial Global.
He also has advised SanDisk, Martin Marietta, Pfizer, USIM,
NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, IASIS Healthcare and several Japan-based
clients in numerous transactions. Mr. Keyte also regularly appears before the
antitrust agencies in a variety of investigational contexts.
Mr. Keyte also counsels on general antitrust matters. He
has advised numerous clients on compliance with basic antitrust statutes,
including issues relating to competitor collaborations, unilateral conduct
and distribution. He also counsels a number of clients on intellectual
property matters with antitrust implications.
Mr. Keyte is the past chair of the Trade, Sports and
Professional Associations Committee. Mr. Keyte is a frequent contributor of
antitrust articles to the Antitrust Law Journal and Antitrust Magazine on a
variety of topics, including merger analysis, market definition and
conduct-related issues. Mr. Keyte is a former senior editor of the Antitrust
Law Journal and a current editor of Antitrust Magazine. He also authors a
monthly antitrust column for the New York Law Journal. In 2012, he won the
Institute of Competition Law’s Antitrust Academic Article Readers Award for
“‘Tally Ho!’: UPP and the 2010 Horizontal Merger Guidelines.” Mr. Keyte
