Antitrust Enforcement in the New Administration – Continuity or Transformation:

  • As the principles underlying modern antitrust enforcement face populist challenge, what should we expect to see for mergers, collusion/cartels, and Big Tech?

Ron Schuler’s history of the legal profession in Pittsburgh, THE STEEL BAR, was released in September 2019. In his chapter on Pittsburgh’s Renaissance, “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?”, he focuses on how the general counsels of three major Pittsburgh corporations -- PPG, Mellon Bank and Alcoa -- played major roles in stimulating and executing the development of Point State Park, the Gateway Center Towers, the Civic Arena and WQED-TV, among other post-war projects. They did so based on a belief that major corporations owed a fiduciary duty to the communities in which they were located, and in part because they believed that as citizens of a community, lawyers have a special obligation to share their expertise and provide leadership. This was at the tail-end of an era in which lawyers were accorded high levels of respect within corporate America: 75% of the chief executive officers of major corporations in the U.S. were lawyers in the late 1930s, while only 5% of them were lawyers as of the beginning of the 21st century.

Why the decline in numbers? Are lawyers still capable of providing the kind of leadership in their communities that was the hallmark of Pittsburgh’s lawyers immediately after WWII? And what happens if today’s lawyers do not step up and lead?
