We recently caught up with our friends at the ABA Section of Antitrust Law for a 6 part series of podcasts featuring 24 participants talking about antitrust’s role in sports, food, international regulations, price fixing, and cartels. These fireside conversations were light, fun, and very educational. Whether you’re a seasoned antitrust practitioner or someone looking to get into the field, these panel discussions are for you.
