Davis Polk partner and former FTC Chairman  Jon Leibowitz is joined by Louis Goldberg, the co-head of Davis Polk’s Mergers and Acquisitions Group, and Arthur Burke, a litigation partner at the firm with extensive antitrust experience, to discuss the emerging “populist antitrust” movement. This new approach would put greater weight on factors such as economic concentration and income inequality in evaluating deals. Our panel explores how a new antitrust standard might affect M&A, including:

• increased uncertainty for buyers and sellers
• potential changes in deal terms 
• a possible impact on funding and cash-out options for startups
