Mintz Member and Chair of the Antitrust Section Bruce Sokler will be featured among industry leaders speaking at the 2018 Antitrust in Healthcare Conference, co-sponsored by the American Bar Association and American Health Lawyers Association. The conference features an expert faculty of the leading government enforcers, private counsel representing both plaintiffs and defendants, and highly experienced economists to share their insights and offer practical advice and policy recommendations.

On Thursday, May 17, 2018, Mr. Sokler and his co-panelists are set to discuss the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) increased focus on physician mergers it considers anticompetitive. The panel will look at recent challenges to physician mergers and consider how litigating a physician merger is both similar and different from a hospital merger litigation.

Mr. Sokler applies his extensive experience, understanding of clients' business, and judgment developed over decades in private practice to a broad range of antitrust matters, including government merger reviews and investigations and antitrust litigation.

This year’s Antitrust in Healthcare Conference will be held May 17-18, 2018 in Arlington, VA.
