WASHINGTON, D.C. – March 29, 2017 - The American Bar Association (ABA) Antitrust Law 2017 Spring Meeting is taking place this week in Washington, D.C., on March 27-31, 2017. Baker Botts’ Brussels-based antitrust partners Catriona Hatton and Georg Berrisch are attending the events this week, alongside the firm’s U.S. antitrust partners, and available to comment on the significant issues raised throughout the conference and potential impacts on EU policy.
