Webinar Recording: Cutting Through the Antitrust Noise — What’s Actually Going On?
Antitrust is having its moment: Pending legislation on the Hill. An Executive Order from President Biden outlining 72 antitrust initiatives. New leadership at the FTC and DOJ signaling more aggressive approaches in enforcement and process. Deal timing uncertainty. Big Tech in the antitrust crosshairs.

Topics include:
- The current litigation against Big Tech
