In particular, our esteemed speakers—antitrust and competition partner Beau Buffier and Jindrich Kloub, antitrust Of Counsel Thomas Pflock, and privacy and cybersecurity partner Laura De Boel—will discuss:

  • Recent antitrust regulations in the European Union and what they mean for U.S. companies
  • M&A enforcement dynamics in both the European Union and United Kingdom
  • The latest GDPR enforcement trends and the priorities of privacy regulators
  • The new European Union data regulations, including the AI Act, DSA, and Data Act

We hope you will join us.
