Microsoft @ 25: Impact, Influence, and Legacy symposium: Keynote Remarks with David Boies
June 28, 2026 will mark the 25th anniversary of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision in United States v. Microsoft. In anticipation of that anniversary, at this symposium, NYU School of Law and Hausfeld LLP examined Microsoft’s impact on the development of U.S. monopoly law and policy, its influence on the economic analysis of digital markets, and its durable legacy. Although the Microsoft decision had limited impact at first, the case now stands at the center of an unprecedented wave of private and public antitrust challenges to some of today’s largest technology firms. Understanding and evaluating how Microsoft has affected these challenges was the central focus of this conference.
Keynote Remarks: David Boies, Chairman Emeritus at Boies Schiller Flexner LLP, played a pivotal role as one of the leading attorneys involved in United States v. Microsoft and brings invaluable insights into the case and its lasting legacy. Michael Hausfeld, Chair Emeritus of Hausfeld LLP, moderated the discussion, drawing on David’s first-hand experience with one of the most significant antitrust cases in modern history. David’s deep understanding of the case's influence on antitrust law and its continued relevance in today’s tech-driven economy makes him an authoritative voice on the subject.
