From A to Y: Antitrust Notes from the ABA and Y Combinator
April 4 marked the end of a notable week in global competition policy. The American Bar Association’s (ABA) Antitrust Section held its annual spring meeting, while Y Combinator hosted a virtual “Little Tech Competition Summit.” At the same time, Congress held two competition hearings, the U.S. Justice Department (DOJ) hosted an event on competition and speech, and senior antitrust enforcers spoke at an event put on by Capitol Forum and FGS Global.
With all the activity, even the staunchest neo-Brandeisian may have come to appreciate the value of occasional event consolidation.
Despite the varying locales and interests, many common areas of agreement appeared to emerge.
