Concurrences, a leading European antitrust publication, has shortlisted three Wilson Sonsini–authored articles for its 2026 Antitrust Writing Awards, which recognize scholarship, originality, and practical impact in competition law. The selections—chosen by Concurrences editors from more than 1,500 submissions across academic, business, and soft law categories—include two business articles and one academic article.

Business Articles

• Competition Enforcement and the Labor Market: Too Much Too Soon? explores the rapid expansion of antitrust enforcement into labor markets, comparing U.S. and EU approaches and questioning whether policy and case law have evolved quickly enough to support this shift. The article, authored by Jeffrey Bank and Jordanne Steiner, along with additional contributors, assesses the legal and economic implications of heightened scrutiny in this area.

• European Union: AI Partnerships and DMA Enforcement Top of the Agenda for European Regulators examines increased EU scrutiny of AI-related investments and collaborations, alongside intensified enforcement of the Digital Markets Act (DMA). The article is authored by Jindrich Kloub, Deirdre Carroll, and Laurine Daïnesi Signoret.

Academic Article

• Law in a Time Capsule: Should the 1960s Merger Cases Be Affirmed Today? evaluates whether landmark Supreme Court merger decisions from the 1960s—grounded in a structural view of competition—remain fit for today’s effects-based antitrust framework. The article is authored by Wilson Sonsini lawyers Taylor Owings, Miata Eggerly, and Ben Allen, and co-authored with antitrust practitioners from another leading law firm.
