We’re excited to announce the tenth installment of our “Tech in the Courts” webinar series, presented by TechFreedom and Washington Legal Foundation. The event is on Wednesday, February 25, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. ET.
The California Law Revision Commission has prepared a final recommendation to amend the Cartwright Act to prohibit monopsonization, and other single-firm restraints of trade. If adopted as drafted, the proposal would guide California courts to develop antitrust law that could diverge significantly from U.S. Supreme Court interpretations of Section 2 of the Sherman Act. Our panel of experts will discuss the potential impacts of this proposal.
