Antitrust Law

The Antitrust Law Section offers members excellent ways to enhance their knowledge and expertise by participating in Section activities. The Section features several marquee events throughout the year featuring prominent regulators, practitioners, and professors, including the Annual Meeting, Taft Lecture, Antitrust Symposium, and Summer Merger Program. The Section also organizes numerous programs and networking events through our five active Committees: Cartel and Criminal Practice; Mergers; Class Action and Private Litigation; Big Tech and Monopolization; and Healthcare and Pharmaceuticals. Through our many outstanding programs, Section members earn CLE credits while examining critical issues and staying on top of the constantly developing field of antitrust law. The Section also routinely offers introductory programs on the practice of antitrust law for more junior attorneys interested in a career in antitrust. All of these activities also enable members to meet and network with other antitrust practitioners, raising members’ profiles within the NYSBA and the antitrust bar.

“I strongly encourage all those either practicing antitrust law or interested in a career in antitrust to join the NYSBA’s Antitrust Law Section. The Antitrust Law Section, an important voice in the broader antitrust community, aims to address the complex issues that constantly arise in the field and to communicate about antitrust law with the profession as a whole. Membership in our Section is a valuable way for members to aid the Section in these goals and an excellent opportunity to keep up to date on the growing number of issues and network with fellow antitrust practitioners from both the defense and plaintiffs’ bar, state and federal regulators, economists, and professors.”
