The newly-created Monopolization and Big Tech Committee covers a range of legal developments relating to single-firm conduct, as well as innovations in the technology industry that the antitrust laws are being called upon to address. The Committee holds informational panels, including CLE panels, and quarterly meetings to discuss new developments in the antitrust laws. The Committee is keen to welcome and engage with new members.

The Monopolization and Big Tech Committee aims to connect practitioners and serve as a resource for them to keep current on recent developments. Topics and areas of interest include Platforms – the so called “Big Tech” major technology companies; the technologies that may disrupt or help entrench market positions (e.g., algorithms, artificial intelligence, application programming interfaces, Blockchain, etc.); and ongoing proposed legislation and litigation surrounding these companies.

The Committee holds periodic meetings, events and CLEs where members share ideas and get valuable training and insight for their practice. It offers many ways to become a more active participant of the NYSBA, including speaking and writing opportunities through committee-sponsored events and publications. Above all, the Committee is a network of practitioners seeking to develop relationships with one another and be engaged in open dialogue about the practice of law. Practitioners and law students are encouraged to reach out to an existing member and learn more about getting involved with this growing committee.
