The Institute for Technology, Law & Policy (ITLP) Research Group is happy to announce a new mini-series: The Anatomy of a Tech Antitrust Case. This series will be spearheaded by ITLP-affiliated faculty member and leading antitrust lawyer, Jennifer Dixton, and is a collaboration between ITLP and the Center for Critical Internet Inquiry (C2i2).

Hear from the experts about what goes into investigating, litigating, and crafting remedies in today's biggest tech monopolization and merger cases.

The first installment will be on Thursday, September 25, from 3.30 to 4.30PM at the Law School (Room 2477), and will feature Dr. Yair Taylor.

Dr. Taylor is a senior economist at Cornerstone Research who consults on antitrust litigation, merger investigations, and complex commercial litigation. Before joining Cornerstone Research, Dr. Taylor served for over a decade as an economist in the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (DOJ), working on such high-profile matters as Halliburton/Baker Hughes, Aetna/Humana, AT&T/Time Warner, and UnitedHealth Group/Change Healthcare.

Part 1 of the series will explore the role of the economic expert and how it has changed as antitrust focus shifts away from industrial products to tech.

The ITLP Research Group (IRG) is a fortnightly meeting of tech law and engineering faculty and students, visiting scholars, and tech and society researchers from across the UCLA community. The IRG provides a forum to present and discuss new scholarship and works-in-progress at the intersection of technology, law, and policy.
