Mike Volkov on Antitrust Issues in Microsoft Acquisition of Activision Blizzard

Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast which takes a deep dive into a compliance related topic, literally going into the weeds to more fully explore a subject. This week, Matt and Tom are pleased to host Mike Volkov, host of the Corruption Crime and Compliance podcast on the Compliance Podcast Network. Mike formerly worked in the DOJ, Antitrust Division. We consider the current evolution of antitrust enforcement by the DOJ and FTC and how it might impact the Microsoft acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Some of the issues we consider include: ·      Is the focus of antitrust enforcement changing from consumers to others? ·      What is a Section 2 Sherman Act claim? ·       What are structural v. behavioral remedies?  ·      Have partial divestitures fallen out of favor? ·      How might all this play out in the Microsoft acquisition of Activision Blizzard? ·      What is the role of compliance going forward?
