As federal antitrust enforcement continues to evolve, adjust priorities, and in some cases, stall out, states are increasingly enhancing their enforcement focus, resources, and law.

The U.S. Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division has launched a new Whistleblower Rewards Program offering—for the first time—financial incentives to individuals who “report antitrust crimes and related offenses that harm consumers, taxpayers, and free market competition across industries from healthcare to agriculture.”

Sofia Arguello attended the 2025 Antitrust in the Americas Conference. The conference explored the latest in competition, data privacy, and consumer protection across the Americas. It featured in-depth panels on the most pressing competition enforcement and policy issues shaping markets in the region, with insights from top government enforcers, corporate counsel, and leading practitioners.
