Policy Matters: Antitrust in Focus: The Risk to NY’s Economy and Your Business

Wednesday, May 21, 2025 (11:00 AM - 12:00 PM) (EDT)

Description

*Virtual Event

Join us for our next Policy Matters webinar as we dive into one of the year’s most critical policy discussions: the proposed Twenty-First Century Antitrust Act (S.335/A.2015). This groundbreaking legislation could fundamentally reshape liability standards for businesses across all industries in New York, introducing significant new risks and challenges for operations, growth, and compliance.
This complimentary informative webinar will take place on Wednesday, May 21st, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM through our virtual platform, and will feature Eric Stock, partner at Gibson Dunn and former Antitrust Bureau Chief in the NY Attorney General’s Office. Eric will break down the proposed legislation and its potential impact on your business, from compliance risks to economic implications.
Why this matters for your business:
  • A new “abuse of dominance” standard could apply to businesses simply for being successful in local or niche markets—impacting regional manufacturers, healthcare providers, nonprofits, and small businesses alike.
  • Routine practices like discounting, exclusive agreements, or customer incentive programs could come under scrutiny, even if they benefit consumers.
  • The law introduces complex reporting and legal risks for mergers and acquisitions, regardless of industry or transaction size.
  • Experts project billions in lost GDP and hundreds of thousands of jobs if enacted.
This legislation doesn’t just target tech giants—it has sweeping implications for any business holding a leading position in its market, no matter the size or sector.
Who Should Virtually Attend:

Business owners, executives, legal and compliance teams, economic development leaders, and anyone responsible for strategic growth planning in New York.
