Sayyed on the State of Antitrust Enforcement

Antitrust law has come into sharper focus over the past year, with several high-profile cases, including in Big Tech. Bilal Sayyed, former Director of the FTC’s Office of Policy Planning and current competition counsel at TechFreedom, as well as counsel at the law firm Cadwalader, Wickersham and Taft, joins Bloomberg Intelligence litigation analysts Jennifer Rie and Justin Teresi on this Votes and Verdicts episode to talk about the state of US antitrust enforcement one year into the Trump administration. They discuss whether antitrust enforcement has become politicized (or more politicized), the departure of Gail Slater from the DOJ, the firing of the two Democratic FTC commissioners and various policy initiatives of the FTC’s Bureau of Competition and the DOJ’s Antitrust Division.
