Antitrust Enforcement in the Modern Era

Corporations, Securities & Antitrust Practice Group Teleforum

With a change in administration, businesses and consumers alike are searching the tea leaves for indications about how new policy setters will analyze market power, mergers and acquisitions.  Will economic analysis play a greater or lesser role?  Will the conventional distinctions between horizontal and vertical mergers persist?  How will consumer interest be weighed?  On the international front, is foreign countries’ use of competition laws to influence or judge American businesses on the rise and, if so, to what effect?

Featuring: 

  • Hon. Joshua D. Wright, Professor of Law, Antonin Scalia Law School, George Mason University
