In our latest episode of Bad News, Good Lawyers, Lauren Briggerman, a partner in our Antitrust & Competition Practice, joins host Tom Firestone, head of our Government Investigations & White Collar Practice, to discuss how antitrust enforcement has evolved under the second Trump administration.
Against a backdrop of perceived pullbacks in broader white collar enforcement, they explore why antitrust may be a notable exception, offering practical insights into what these developments mean for companies navigating compliance risk in an increasingly complex and politicized enforcement environment.
