Jim Long to Moderate Antitrust Fundamentals CLE for Minnesota State Bar Association

Litigation Group attorney Jim Long will moderate a three-hour CLE Sept. 29 on antitrust fundamentals for the Minnesota State Bar Association (MSBA). The course, featuring additional experts on antitrust law, provides a basic background in antitrust and serves as a refresher for in-house counsel and attorneys with some experience in the area. Antitrust law is currently the subject of renewed focus: In July 2021, the Biden Administration issued an executive order highlighting its commitment to aggressive enforcement of the antitrust laws; both the DOJ and FTC are increasingly active; and several major pieces of federal antitrust legislation are pending.
