A More Perfect Union? States Double Down on Antitrust
Companies have to keep abreast of federal antitrust priorities to avoid potential criminal and civil risks. But now, more than ever, they also need to pay attention to what is going on in state capitals, where legislatures are passing merger notification laws and considering expanding antitrust liability, and attorneys general are increasingly eager to bring lawsuits that may or may not align with federal doctrine. What does this mean for companies that want to comply with the antitrust laws and our federalist system of antitrust enforcement (and the lawyers that advise them)? Our panel of distinguished former federal and state antitrust enforcers will consider these topics and more.
