If you attend, be sure to check out the session Upstream and Downstream: Potential Compliance Challenges for Every Antitrust Stage at 3:20pm! Here’s the description and speakers for this session, sponsored by Level Legal:

Twice since June, the Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice have proposed sweeping changes to antitrust enforcement regulations. Seeking to address ephemeral messaging and collaboration applications, as well as tightening the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act (HSR) rules and form, the recommendations would affect every stage of the mergers-and-acquisitions lifecycle – both “upstream” and “downstream” of deals.  Get a holistic view of this potentially challenging antitrust environment from our exceptional speakers.

Speakers: Kevin Brzozowski, Level Legal; David Greetham, Level Legal; Lisa Rumin, McDermott Will & Emery; Melanie Halls Kirsch, AT&T.

Important Note: Harassment, including sexual harassment, continues to be a problem at conferences, and in society in general. Here is a recent post I published regarding incidents that occurred at this year’s Legalweek conference that also has resources with more information (suggestions for additional resources welcome). Let’s make conferences and our workplaces safe for everyone.
