Technology and Life Sciences Deals Remain Top Priority for Antitrust Enforcers
Cooley lawyers Megan Browdie and David Burns co-authored a chapter in the 2026 edition of Global Competition Review’s “Americas Antitrust Review.” This updated chapter outlines the new US presidential administration’s antitrust agencies’ continuation of certain policies from the previous administration – including retaining the 2023 Merger Guidelines and welcoming expansive Hart-Scott-Rodino rule changes – and their sharp breaks with others, including re-embracing merger remedies, making it easier for some deals to go through, in turn affecting tech and life sciences transactions.
