Event: Global Merger Control Conference Date: 26 June 2026 Host: Concurrences and Cleary Gottlieb Location: Paris, France Times: 12:15 p.m. (CET)
Managing Principal Antoine Chapsal will moderate the closing panel of the Global Merger Control Conference in Paris, organized by Concurrences. Under this year’s theme, “Agencies and General Counsel: What’s on their radar?”, the program will bring together competition authorities, legal practitioners, leading economists and industry representatives to discuss how merger policy in the EU and the US is adapting to today’s geopolitical context and how those changes are affecting merger review. Alongside François-Charles Laprévote (Cleary Gottleib) and William E. Kovacic (GWU Law School), Dr. Chapsal will draw together the day’s key themes, bringing an economic perspective to how competition analysis is evolving and what these developments mean for companies navigating increasingly complex regulatory environments.
