On Tuesday, September 30, Wilson Sonsini partners Maureen Ohlhausen and Taylor M. Owings will participate in a panel discussion, hosted by the Washington Legal Foundation, focused on the growing trend of states enacting premerger notification laws modeled after the federal Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Act. The panelists will review the recently enacted laws in Washington and Colorado, discuss legislative proposals from other states, and share their insights on how state involvement may influence merger decision-making.

This timely discussion will provide valuable perspectives on the evolving landscape of merger regulations. For more information and to register, please visit the event website.
