Transition 2021: Antitrust in a Biden Administration: Back to the Future?

Please join members of Crowell & Moring’s Antitrust & Competition practice for a discussion centered around what to expect in 2021 resulting from the transition in administration and Congress, and how these changes are likely to impact antitrust enforcement and antitrust law more broadly. In particular, the panelists will discuss:

• How the leadership of the Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice will change;
• What the change in leadership means for ongoing enforcement efforts and initiatives; 
• Which legislative reforms to antitrust laws may be on the horizon; 
• How the agencies are likely to approach both merger and non-merger antitrust enforcement; and 
• Whether the movement to consider non-traditional issues such as labor, racial equity, climate, and privacy in antitrust enforcement will gain traction in the new administration.
