Macrae at the Economist Antitrust Summit US: The Changing Role of In-House Antitrust Counsel
The role of the in-house antitrust lawyer has moved well beyond compliance. Antitrust counsel now sit in product design and go-to-market conversations, including around AI, and the questions reaching them increasingly touch trade, industrial policy and international relations.
On October 28, Macrae is sponsoring The Economist’s Antitrust Summit US in New York. We are also co-hosting a roundtable, “From legal technician to geopolitical all-rounder: the evolving role of the in-house antitrust counsel.”
The session will bring in-house antitrust lawyers from across industries together to look at three questions:
How the antitrust chief’s remit now extends beyond acting as a compliance shield.
What grounding in international relations, trade and industrial policy the job now requires.
How in-house teams balance their own expertise with outside counsel.
The discussion will also cover the skills the role demands and the movement of talent from law firms and regulatory agencies into in-house positions. It is an interactive format, so participants will share practical experience and compare notes with peers.
Macrae’s Justine Donahue will take part in the roundtable. Stephanie Mishler, Rose Corbett and Jane Sullivan Roberts will also be attending the summit.
