Join Wilson Sonsini partners and former government officials Beau Buffier, Maneesha Mithal, and Maureen Ohlhausen for a conversation on the evolving landscape of antitrust and consumer protection enforcement, highlighting key takeaways from enforcer panels during the ABA Antitrust Spring Meeting.

Panelists will discuss the latest enforcement priorities under the Trump 2.0 administration and state attorneys general, provide updates on cartel enforcement activities, and examine new minor safety laws that may impact compliance strategies.

The annual ABA Antitrust Spring Meeting, now in its 74th year, is the largest gathering of competition, consumer protection, and data privacy professionals globally, with lawyers, academics, economists, enforcers, journalists, and students from around the world. It attracts over 4,000 delegates from more than 67 nations arriving for what has become known as "Antitrust Week."
