Governance Watch Webcast: Antitrust Risk in 2025

Webinar

Cleary Gottlieb partner Puja Patel participated in The Conference Board’s Governance Watch Webcast: Antitrust Risk in 2025.

The 2025 antitrust environment has been marked by enduring themes and emerging priorities, with regulators taking a more expansive view of competition risks.

Regulators in the U.S. and globally are applying a broader lens to competition concerns, with high-profile cases and record fines underscoring enforcement shifts. Oversight and strategy must adapt to manage uncertainty and address sector-specific risks.

This webcast, held in partnership with The Conference Board, explored the current state and future direction of antitrust policy and practice.

Discussion topics included:

• Key U.S. and global enforcement trends in 2025
• Implications of the geopolitical and economic landscape for competition policy
• Sector-specific risks in technology, energy, and financial services
• Practical takeaways for senior executives and boards to strengthen oversight, readiness, and compliance

Participants:

• Peter Bernstein, VP, Senior Managing Counsel, Competition Law, Mastercard
• Puja Patel, Partner, Cleary Gottlieb
• Brian Campbell, Center Leader, US Governance & Sustainability Center, The Conference Board; General Counsel, The Conference Board (Moderator)
