The Register Interviews Andrew Luh in "Biden’s Antitrust Crackdown on Tech M&As May Linger into Trump’s Reign"

Gunderson Dettmer partner Andrew Luh was interviewed for The Register's article, "Biden’s Antitrust Crackdown on Tech M&As May Linger into Trump’s Reign."

The article analyzes the current state of mergers and acquisitions in the tech sector, highlighting how heightened regulatory scrutiny under the Biden administration, including new FTC guidelines, has introduced additional compliance challenges but not significantly slowed overall deal activity.
