Advocacy and Amicus Briefs
Advocacy and Amicus Briefs
Competition policy plays and important role outside the courtroom. Frequently, state legislatures and state regulatory bodies adopt policies which have a significant impact on competition. As the Policy Director at the FTC, David Balto regularly advised both state legislatures and state regulatory bodies about the proper approach to competition policy. In private practice, he regularly advises firms and consumer groups on competitive advocacy. He regularly testifies before Congress and state legislatures on a wide variety of issues, including pending mergers, medical device competition, pharmacy regulation, and healthcare antitrust.
