Partner Josh Shapiro joined global antitrust practitioners to discuss topics including the balance between enforcement and pro-growth policy objectives, the increasing focus on innovation and future competitive dynamics, and the impact of regulatory change on merger reviews.

"The old days of waiting until the economic terms have been hashed out to bring in the antitrust team to take the deal over the line are over. Antitrust has become a material gating item in the dealmaking process and in many cases is one of the first factors considered in the C-suite when making the go or no-go decision.” Josh said.
