Baker Botts partner Anthony Swisher shares his thoughts in the Commercial Dispute Resolution’s January issue: Quarterly Focus: Trump’s second roll of the antitrust dice.

I expect enforcement will continue, but I expect it to be more measured and with a greater focus on economic analysis, rather than a concern over ‘bigness’ for its own sake. Certainly, I expect less bellicose rhetoric from the agencies than we’ve seen over the past four years,” Swisher states.
