Axinn antitrust group chair Mike Keeley, along with Slaughter & May partner Jordan Ellison in Brussels and JunHe LLP partner Janet Hui in Beijing shared their valuable insights and perspectives on how these political shifts impact regulatory frameworks and business strategies, including:

European regulators' possible de-emphasis on regulating US tech companies
How the collapsing together of competition policy, foreign investment policy, and national security policy in China and around the world may make deals more complicated.
