Professor John Newman recently attended the American Bar Association Antitrust Law section’s one-day forum in Washington, D.C., which focused on the past four years of the Biden administration and the next four years of the new U.S. President. In that forum, Newman served as a panelist on “Hot Topics in the Next Administration,” where he, along with the other panelists, explored how the next administration will approach competition policy and whether it will follow or alter the path of the Biden administration.
Newman is an antitrust and competition law expert, primarily focusing on the economics and regulation of digital markets. He has served with the Federal Trade Commission as Deputy Director of the Bureau of Competition and the U.S. Department of Justice Antitrust Division as a trial attorney.
