The evolution of antitrust policy, coupled with changing administrations, merits close attention from practitioners. At the 13th Bill Kovacic Antitrust Salon, Partner Slava Zayats will speak on the panel “Mergers in transition: a challenging environment.” Dr. Zayats and his co-panelists plan to explore recent U.S. merger control developments. This includes the Trump administration’s decision to maintain Biden-era merger review guidelines, and the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act changes that were set to take effect in February 2025, potentially signaling a new approach to merger remedies—though implementation may face a 60-day delay.
Dr. Zayats’s co-panelists include Lauren E. Battaglia of Hogan Lovells, Timothy Cornell of Debevoise Plimpton, Lisa Demarchi Sleigh of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, Elinor Hoffmann of the Office of the New York Attorney General, and Larry Reicher of Hopper. Aurelien Portuese of the George Washington University Law School will moderate.
