Antitrust Enforcement in Tech Mergers

Event | 11.19.19, 3:00 AM EST - 7:30 AM EST

Address

The George Washington University Law School
2000 H St NW, Washington, D.C. 20052

Register

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.

"The Tide is High: New Guidance on Sea-Level Rise," The Bar Association of San Francisco

Jon Welner will be interviewing Larry Goldzband, the Executive Director of the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC), on the Commission’s new plan to prepare the SF Bay Area for sea-level rise. BCDC is the agency responsible for permitting all development on the shoreline of San Francisco Bay. On December 5, 2024, the BCDC adopted the Regional Shoreline Adaptation Plan (RSAP). The RSAP is a region-wide plan for the San Francisco Bay shoreline that guides the creation of coordinated, locally planned sea level rise adaptation actions that work together to achieve a regional One Bay Vision. This includes BCDC’s guidelines for how local governments must meet the requirements of SB 272, a new State mandate that requires all local governments along the shoreline to prepare a Subregional Shoreline Adaptation Plan by 2034.
