Global Antitrust Update Webinar Series | Spring 2026

Webinar

During our recent Global Antitrust Update webinar, our international team explored the latest enforcement trends and policy shifts shaping competition law across key jurisdictions.

The program opened with a concise transatlantic update on developments in the United States and Europe before turning to two timely areas of heightened enforcement focus: EU and US tech enforcement trends, including the Digital Markets Act and monopolization cases, and increased scrutiny of gun-jumping and pre-closing conduct. Speakers shared practical insights on enforcement priorities, compliance risks and managing exposure across global transactions.
