Broadcast Date: Friday, November 15, 2024 | 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm (ET)
Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) face increasing scrutiny as antitrust enforcement evolves in response to shifting economic and political landscapes. Under the Biden administration, U.S. M&A antitrust enforcement has become more aggressive, with heightened attention on consolidation in a range of industries. The outlook may shift again under the next U.S. administration, making it critical for businesses and legal professionals to stay informed of the latest developments and potential upcoming changes. Globally, agencies in Europe and China have also introduced new rules and enforcement measures targeting M&A activities, such as China’s recent regulations against “killer acquisitions” and new considerations regarding subsidies.
In this CLE webinar, James K. Hunsberger of Axinn, Veltrop & Harkrider LLP and Liang Ding of DeHeng Law Offices will provide an in-depth analysis of the latest developments and trends in M&A antitrust enforcement across various jurisdictions. Speakers will discuss key policy changes, significant enforcement actions, and regulatory updates under the current U.S. administration and forecast potential shifts under the next U.S. administration. They will also delve into global M&A antitrust dynamics, including new regulations in China, the evolving role of subsidies, and the impact of cross-border cooperation among antitrust authorities.
