About the Conference
As the Chinese proverb goes, “we live in interesting times.” In the current financial situation it is critical that our Section respond to the needs of our members—even if it means that the Section incurs financial costs. In response to budgetary constraints being faced by antitrust practitioners in both the private and public section, we are making some important changes to our upcoming litigation course that I hope will address some of the pressure that is being felt at this time:
The Litigation Course is now being held on Friday, October 16, 2009 at the Law Offices of Hogan & Hartson LLP in Washington, DC.
--Although we have made these changes, please be assured that the quality of the program is not being impacted. We will continue with a stellar faculty. We will still use the same fantastic course materials, which will provide useful exemplars for litigation practice. We will still have all phases of the trial demonstrated below:
In the past few years, the government has challenged several mergers in court, and the new administration has indicated its intention to be even more aggressive in the future. As a result, antitrust trial practitioners as well as merger lawyers should be prepared to meet the challenges associated with trying to persuade the government not to sue, and trying the case when the government's concerns cannot be resolved in a manner acceptable to the client.
The Section of Antitrust is pleased to offer the 2009 Antitrust Litigation Course: Preparing and Trying an Antitrust Case, which will bring together some of the leading antitrust trial lawyers to demonstrate - on the basis of a fictitious merger of two companies in a high technology industry - the complex interplay of substance, strategy, negotiations, and remedies that is essential not only to merger litigation, but to antitrust litigation in general. We kindly invite you to participate in this special event on October 16 at the Law Offices of Hogan & Hartson LLP in Washington, DC.
