State AGs Step Up: Antitrust Enforcement Beyond the Federal Level

Antitrust/competition attorneys <a href="https://www.skadden.com/professionals/k/kreiner-evan-r" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Evan R. Kreiner</a>, <a href="https://www.skadden.com/professionals/r/rancour-joseph-m" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Joseph M. Rancour</a> and <a href="https://www.skadden.com/professionals/h/haimi-justine-m" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Justine M. Haimi</a> discuss the rise of state attorneys general as independent antitrust enforcers. The conversation covers new mini-Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) filing regimes spreading across the country, California's aggressive legislative push, recent high-profile cases and how states are investing in enforcement resources — from new hires and dedicated units to outside counsel and expanded budgets. The episode also explores what this increased state activism means for deal makers navigating merger review and conduct litigation, including why companies can no longer assume that settling with federal enforcers will resolve state-level exposure.<h2>💡 Meet Your Host 💡</h2>Name: <a href="https://www.skadden.com/professionals/r/rancour-joseph-m" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Joseph M. Rancour</a>Title: Partner, Antitrust/CompetitionSpecialty: Joe has broad antitrust experience across a variety of industries, including semiconductors, technology platforms, telecommunications, medical devices, life sciences, chemicals and financial exchanges.

That's not something that you would typically see particularly in the middle of trial."Connect: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/evan-kreiner/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a>Name: <a href="https://www.skadden.com/professionals/h/haimi-justine-m" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Justine M.

The ones that are in place now are fairly low burden, filings are based on revenues of the companies involved in the relevant state, and importantly, the statutes in place right now are not bars on closing. The goal of these statutes is really to get state regulators the same information federal antitrust regulators are receiving early on in a transaction’s lifetime to help inform enforcement priorities and flag deals that may have an outsized impact on certain states."Connect: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/justine-haimi-77a20210" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a><h2>Connect with Skadden</h2>☑️ Follow us on <a href="https://twitter.com/SkaddenArps?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">X</a> and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/skadden-arps-slate-meagher-flom-llp-affiliates/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a>.☑️ Subscribe to Fierce Competition on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fierce-competition/id1710265588" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Apple Podcasts</a>, <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/5O7cIljyx4Agy2A6wt5GZv" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spotify</a> or your favorite podcast app.“Fierce Competition” is a podcast by <a href="https://www.skadden.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, and Affiliates</a>.

Mergers, Algorithms and Market Power: Highlights from the ABA Spring Meeting 2026

The ABA 2026 Antitrust Spring Meeting gathered antitrust lawyers and practitioners – some 3,500 of them – for 70 panels in Washington, D.C. Host <a href="https://www.skadden.com/professionals/b/batchelor-bill" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bill Batchelor</a> reports back along with <a href="https://www.skadden.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Skadden</a> antitrust/competition partners <a href="https://www.skadden.com/professionals/k/kreiner-evan-r" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Evan Kreiner</a> and <a href="https://www.skadden.com/professionals/l/luoma-aurora" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Aurora Luoma</a>. Drawing out the central themes from the conference, they cover the latest in merger control — from the CMA's "4 Ps" framework to the EU's revised guidelines and the fate of the FTC's expanded HSR form — as well as cartel enforcement trends including AI-driven investigations and algorithmic pricing, and notable market power developments in digital regulation and social media.<h2>💡 Meet Your Host 💡</h2>Name: <a href="https://www.skadden.com/professionals/b/batchelor-bill" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bill Batchelor</a>Title: Partner, Antitrust/CompetitionSpecialty: Bill has 20 years of EU and U.K. competition law experience and focuses his practice on investigations, including abuse of dominance, cartels and vertical agreements.Connect: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/bibatchelor/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a><h2>💡 Featured Guests 💡</h2>Name: <a href="https://www.skadden.com/professionals/l/luoma-aurora" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Aurora Luoma</a>What she does: Aurora covers competition law, including international merger control, antitrust investigations, state aid and sectoral regulation. She is based in London.Organization: <a href="https://www.skadden.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Skadden</a>Words of wisdom: “The UK CMA has been rapidly shifting its approach to merger control enforcement in the past 18 months or so. What we heard at the ABA conference was a continued emphasis from the CMA officials on its shift to what it calls its "4 Ps" framework. So, that's greater predictability, pace, process and proportionality in merger review.”Connect: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/aurora-luoma-5a10951a/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a>Name: <a href="https://www.skadden.com/professionals/k/kreiner-evan-r" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Evan Kreiner</a>What he does: Evan is an experienced litigator in high-stakes antitrust trials against government regulators and private plaintiffs. He is based in New York.Organization: <a href="https://www.skadden.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Skadden</a>Words of wisdom: "On the substance, people were quite interested in Judge Boasberg's evaluation and analysis, both the market that Instagram and Facebook – Meta's products that were challenged by the FTC – participate in, as well as how Judge Boasberg considered whether or not Instagram and Facebook have market power. So, market definition in that case was hotly contested.”Connect: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/aurora-luoma-5a10951a/https://www.linkedin.com/in/evan-kreiner/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a><h2>Connect with Skadden</h2>☑️ Follow us on <a href="https://twitter.com/SkaddenArps?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">X</a> and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/skadden-arps-slate-meagher-flom-llp-affiliates/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a>.☑️ Subscribe to “Fierce Competition” on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fierce-competition/id1710265588" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Apple Podcasts</a>, <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/5O7cIljyx4Agy2A6wt5GZv" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spotify</a>, or your favorite podcast app.“Fierce Competition” is a podcast by <a href="https://www.skadden.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, and Affiliates</a>.
