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.
