The Biden Administration proposes to revise the merger guidelines, releasing a draft of proposed revised merger guidelines in July 2023. Bilal Sayyed (Senior Competition Counsel, TechFreedom) discusses the draft with Eleanor Fox and Daniel Francis whether new merger guidelines were needed, and whether the draft signals significant change in merger policy. Eleanor M. Fox is the Walter J. Derenberg Professor of Trade Regulation Emerita at New York University School of Law. She is an expert in antitrust and competition policy, and teaches, writes, and advises on competition policy in nations around the world and in international organizations.
