Join us on Tuesday, May 20 for the next session in our webinar series analyzing the shifting U.S. regulatory landscape over the first 100 days of the second Trump administration. Our distinguished panel of former senior regulatory officials will continue their timely conversation on how enforcement and policymaking is evolving across key regulatory areas.
The panel will explore the impact of new outbound investment rules on cross-border investments, the DOJ’s new data export regulations, CFIUS reforms on the horizon, and the latest tariff changes. The panelists will also address the Trump administration’s immediate actions related to merger guidelines, interlocking directorates, and antitrust and consumer protection enforcement, as well as the expanding focus of state attorneys general on the antitrust and privacy landscapes. In addition, they will consider how recent policies and executive orders may affect the FDA’s operations related to medical devices and pharmaceuticals, among other issues.
We look forward to continuing the regulatory conversation with you.
