FTC Chair Lina Khan welcomes companies weighing antitrust in deals, addresses critics

NEW YORK - U.S. Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan on Friday welcomed that companies are weighing antitrust considerations early in their dealmaking process.

"As a law enforcer, I want people to be thinking about whether their deal is going to violate the law or not going to violate the law, so that's progress," she said."If you're looking at it from the prism of deal fees and that sort of thing, I can see why it might be upsetting," she said, drawing laughter from the audience.

There’s a need for more empirical study of how antitrust enforcement affects venture capital, Khan said.Risk Disclosure: Trading in financial instruments and/or cryptocurrencies involves high risks including the risk of losing some, or all, of your investment amount, and may not be suitable for all investors.
