Antitrust Enforcement in Tech Mergers

As federal, state, and international antitrust scrutiny of the tech industry escalates, the question is no longer whether antitrust enforcement should intensify, but how. Please save the date for the inaugural Antitrust & Tech Conference co-hosted by the George Washington University Competition Law Center and Crowell & Moring, which will focus on how antitrust enforcement involving mergers of technology companies will and should be carried out. 

Two panels and a keynote interview with U.S. and international enforcers, private practitioners, economists, and members of academia will discuss issues related to acquisitions of nascent rivals, including “killer” and non-horizontal acquisitions, and potential competition theories of harm, as well as how to analyze tech mergers in light of big data issues, which may raise barrier-to-entry and other concerns.
