Antitrust Regulation and Enforcement Under the Biden Administration with Philip Giordano

Welcome to the Hughes Hubbard Anti-Corruption and Internal Investigations Practice Group’s Podcast, All Things Investigations. In this podcast, host Tom Fox and members of the Hughes Hubbard Anti-Corruption & Internal Investigations Practice Group will highlight some of the key legal issues involved in white-collar and other investigations, both domestically and internationally. In this episode, I speak with Philip Giordano, a partner at Hughes Hubbard, about the Biden administration’s antitrust regulation and enforcement. Philip Giordano is a partner in the firm’s Antitrust Group, focusing on a variety of national and international antitrust matters, including complex criminal antitrust investigations and litigation, civil non-merger government investigations, and mergers and acquisitions. Philip also personally practices in the area of criminal defense. Key areas we discuss on this podcast are: The biggest changes in the Department of Justice over the last 18 months.  An expected area of expanded enforcement and guidance is going to be in the area of potential competitors, and acquisition of potential competitors and of nascent competitors. It’s likely that merger reviews are going to take longer. Expanding the reach of antitrust laws. You typically do not see wage agreements in no-poach clauses. Whether Philip expects the Biden administration to maintain their aggressive enforcement and review of mergers and acquisitions. Resources Hughes Hubbard & Reed website  Philip Giordano on LinkedIn
