In this compendium, Skadden summarizes the principal insights from Georgetown University Law Center’s 20th Annual Global Antitrust Enforcement Symposium and Fordham Law School’s 53rd Annual Conference on International Antitrust Law and Policy. These conferences included remarks from leadership at the DOJ, the FTC, the European Commission, state attorney general offices and many other international regulatory bodies. Their comments over the course of the events show that antitrust enforcement is not receding globally, but it is evolving.
We examine the main trends that emerged from the two conferences, in areas such as:
- FTC strategy
- DOJ enforcement and federal-state tensions
- State attorneys general
- Cross-border merger complexity
- AI and algorithmic pricing
- Monopolization, digital regulation and labor
