Broadcast Date: Wednesday, February 07, 2024 | 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm (ET)
Antitrust merger enforcement is a vital facet of competition regulation. This process involves evaluating proposed mergers and acquisitions to determine whether they would harm the competitive process and thereby consumer welfare by increasing prices, reducing output, or diminishing quality.
Recent merger enforcement has been marked by several recent trends. Enforcers globally have sought to align antitrust regulations across jurisdictions to streamline merger reviews and create consistent enforcement standards. Enforcers worldwide have also expressed significant interest in technology transactions, particularly those involving leading technology (or Big Tech) companies.
