Event Synopsis:

The results of the 2016 presidential election raised questions about the new Trump Administration's likely approach to antitrust policy and enforcement. Republicans are typically less interventionist than Democrats. But while a candidate for office, Trump made strong statements about antitrust enforcement suggesting that he might follow a populist, pro-enforcement agenda.

While the antitrust legacy to be formed by the Trump Administration is still very much in question, this panel will discuss early indications of the Administration's legislative and enforcement priorities and the implications for companies. The panel will also cover several recent trends in antitrust enforcement that the Administration will have to contend with in the coming years.

In this LIVE Webcast, a seasoned panel of thought leaders and professionals brought together by The Knowledge Group will provide the audience an in-depth analysis recent developments in the antitrust policy and enforcement under the new administration.

Key topics include:

·         Antitrust Enforcement under the Trump Administration to Date

·         Potential Antitrust Enforcement Priorities

·         Likely Approach to Merger Enforcement

·         Healthcare Priorities: Drug Pricing, Pay-For-Delay, and Product Hopping

·         Role of Intellectual Property in Antitrust Analysis

·         Antitrust's Role in Policing Big Data
