Description: With Democrats in control of the White House and Congress, companies can expect an uptick in antitrust enforcement and merger reviews and challenges complemented by a marked increase in legislative activity related to competition. This one-hour program will focus on antitrust priorities of the new administration and the expected increase in enforcement in several key industries, including tech, health care, and agriculture, over the next several years. Panelists will discuss the implications of President Biden’s recent appointments for competition policy going forward. They will also review various legislative reform proposals before Congress—from a sweeping overhaul of U.S. antitrust law to more modest bills targeted at protecting competition in key sectors—and the significance of these potential changes for companies across industries.

Susannah also routinely counsels businesses regarding the minimization of antitrust risk, pricing strategies, antitrust compliance, and business issues relating to the use of tech and IP, many of which are key to a company’s global strategy. She has been repeatedly recognized as a ‘SuperLawyer,’ ‘Top Woman Attorney,’ and as a ‘Star’ in Antitrust and Litigation for obtaining critical wins for her clients, whether at trial on behalf of plaintiffs or by winning complete dismissals on behalf of defendants.
