You've seen the headlines - angry fans, skyrocketing prices, congressional hearings. But as an attorney, what matters most isn't the public outcry: it's how the Live Nation - Ticketmaster antitrust litigation is reshaping how courts and regulators think about vertical integration, market definition, and the reach of Section 2 of the Sherman Act.
This is a pivotal moment in antitrust enforcement. The DOJ's willingness to take on one of the most entrenched entertainment conglomerates in the country signals a genuine shift in how market power will be defined, challenged, and dismantled going forward - and the legal theories at play here will influence enforcement and litigation strategy across industries for years to come.
This program cuts through the noise. You'll get a practical, in-depth look at the legal framework behind the case, the recent tentative settlement, and what it all means for DOJ enforcement priorities and corporate structuring decisions. Whether you're advising clients on M&A, regulatory compliance, or competitive strategy, you can't afford to miss what this case is telling us about where antitrust law is heading.

- Hear the latest on the current landscape of monopoly litigation directly from the experts - and understand exactly why this case is different from anything that came before it.
