new administration

In the final episode of season seven, co-hosts Bill Mariano and Rob Hellewell review an article that covers how big tech mergers and acquisitions will drive a busier 2021 for deal lawyers and how these impacts may be seen.

The co-hosts then bring on Kristin Sanford of Weil to discuss a related topic – the impacts and changes to the antitrust scene with the new administration via the following questions: 

• What are some of the changes brought about by the new administration?
• How are those making an impact and/or creating change?
• How do these changes impact how folks manage antitrust matters? 
• What recommendations do you have for folks dealing with these challenges?
• What advice would you give to other women in the antitrust industry looking to move their careers forward?
