The next session in our Global Antitrust Update webinar series is soon approaching. Our international team will unpack the latest enforcement trends and policy shifts shaping competition law across key jurisdictions.
We’ll begin with a concise transatlantic update on key agency activity and policy shifts, before turning to two timely areas of heightened enforcement focus: (i) the accelerating scrutiny of technology markets and (ii) renewed enforcement attention on “gun jumping” risks in transactions and pre-closing conduct.
Drawing on perspectives from our US and European practitioners, our panel will offer real-world insights to help businesses anticipate enforcement priorities, mitigate transaction risk and navigate increasingly assertive regulatory environments.
Whether you’re advising on strategic transactions, managing competition compliance or monitoring global enforcement trends, this session will provide a focused and practical update on where agencies are concentrating their firepower.
What to expect:
- Global antitrust spotlight: A brisk transatlantic briefing on the most significant enforcement headlines and emerging trends in the US and Europe.
McDermott speakers | Zachary Sproull and Dr. Laura Stammwitz
- EU/US tech enforcement: A focused look at digital market enforcement trends, including the EU Digital Markets Act and major US tech monopolization cases.
McDermott speaker | Kristina Nordlander
- Gun jumping and pre-closing conduct: An overview of heightened agency scrutiny of transaction processes, including recent gun-jumping actions and information-exchange risks. We’ll cover best practices and practical safeguards to manage exposure from signing through closing.
McDermott speakers | Carina Kant, Frédéric Pradelles and Lisa Rumin
