ABA 2024 Antitrust Spring Meeting
With the annual 'ABA Antitrust Spring Meeting' in Washington, DC, one of the largest gatherings of competition, consumer protection, and data privacy professionals globally, our Hausfeld partners look forward to exchanging their perspectives on legal developments in these areas with fellow lawyers, academics, economists, enforcers, journalists, and students from around the world.
Three of our partners will speak on a wide range of panels on April 10:
- 9am – 10:15am: Scott Martin will join the “Don’t Try Them Until You Mock Them” panel.
- 1:45pm – 3:15pm: Sathya S. Gosselin will participate in the discussion panel “NIL After Alston: Wild West?”
- 3:30pm – 5:00pm: Swathi Bojedla will join the “Failure to Communicate? Improving Expert Testimony” panel
“Don’t Try Them Until You Mock Them” looks at how more antitrust cases are going the distance, and the stakes are high. Do you know how to distill your case to key themes and make it understandable and compelling to jurors? What can you test in jury research? When should you do a mock trial and how do you interpret the results? And what the heck is a "clopening" anyway? Hear what experience has taught us and see trial themes developed live.
“NIL After Alston: Wild West?” discusses how Alston and O'Bannon helped open up a market for college athletes' names, images, and likenesses that did not exist 10 years ago. This panel will explore how college athletes, universities, and conferences are navigating the antitrust implications of group licensing, transfers, and recruiting in the NIL era.
The “Failure to Communicate? Improving Expert Testimony” discussion will be a response to a call by esteemed judges to revisit the current approach to presenting expert testimony in the courtroom and to regulators. This roundtable will explore what strategies can be applied to enhance the clarity and persuasiveness of expert testimony and presentations.
The ABA Antitrust Spring Meeting is a global event bringing together competition, consumer protection, and data privacy professionals. The meeting represents thought leaders from over 65 nations and over 3,400 delegates in attendance. The three-day program will take place in Washington, DC at the Marriott Marquis.
