Assistant Attorney General Gail Slater Delivers Remarks at Drake University Law School on Antitrust and Agriculture

Wed, 19 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000

Thanks so much for the kind introduction and the warm welcome. It is an honor to be here at Drake Law School with you all. I would like to thank the Federalist Society for hosting me. I spoke at Ohio State Law School earlier this year and Fed Soc hosted me there too.[1] The young people I met at the Ohio Law School Fed Soc reminded me of my former colleagues in the Vance Senate office as well as the amazing Gen Z administration appointees I got to know during the Trump-Vance transition last year. Yours is a generation forged by a financial crisis, a pandemic, and a new geopolitical world order. Older lawyers like me have much to learn from you, so long as we are willing to listen to you.

Thank you, Winston and Patrick, for that kind introduction.

Deputy Assistant Attorney General Dina Kallay Delivers Keynote at Concurrences Dinner in New York

Fri, 19 Sep 2025 12:00:00 +0000

Thank you for that kind introduction and thanks to Concurrences for inviting me to speak at what has become a traditional event adjacent to Fordham’s Annual Conference on International Antitrust Law and Policy. It’s a pleasure to be here with antitrust friends from both the U.S. and around the world to discuss antitrust developments.

Assistant Attorney General Gail Slater Delivers Keynote at Fordham Competition Law Institute’s 52nd Annual Conference on International Antitrust Law and Policy

Thu, 18 Sep 2025 12:00:00 +0000

Thank you for the kind introduction. Thanks to the organizers and to those who have traveled from near and far to exchange ideas at this conference. It’s always a pleasure to see the depth of expertise and the breadth of interest in competition policy gathered in one place, and I am looking forward to hearing the debate. Of course, much like debate in general, debate about competition policy takes courage. As my grandmother liked to say, debate requires us to take a step back and recognize that God gave us two ears and one mouth for a reason. I wish us all the courage to listen to one another, because as C.S. Lewis wrote in the Screwtape Letters, “Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the first of every virtue at the testing point.”

Assistant Attorney General Gail Slater Delivers Keynote Address at the 2025 Georgetown Law Global Antitrust Enforcement Symposium

Tue, 16 Sep 2025 12:00:00 +0000

Thank you for having me. It’s such a pleasure to be here at this incredibly important moment in antitrust and technology policy. We are at an inflection point in both. In antitrust enforcement, for the first time in decades we are beginning to implement monopolization remedies. That’s really where the rubber meets the road in these historic cases, and under Attorney General Bondi’s leadership, we are thinking deeply about how to do that thoughtfully under the law.

Assistant Attorney General Gail Slater Delivers Remarks to the Ohio State University Law School

Fri, 29 Aug 2025 12:00:00 +0000

This is an important time in antitrust enforcement. Americans are confronted with a new wave of economic and industrial change as technological innovations like AI transform our economy. At the same time, forces of economic consolidation across industries threaten the bottom line for American consumers and workers. As law students, you see the great potential and the risks from these forces in your daily lives. What you may not yet see, however, is that antitrust enforcement can and does interact with them in a meaningful way.

Assistant Attorney General Gail Slater Delivers First Antitrust Address at University of Notre Dame Law School

Mon, 28 Apr 2025 12:00:00 +0000

Good afternoon. Thank you so much for having me. It is an honor to be here at Notre Dame to give my first formal address as Assistant Attorney General for the Antitrust Division. I’ve had many offers to speak since I began my tenure at the Department of Justice, but it seemed appropriate that I present the conservative case for vigorous antitrust enforcement here at Notre Dame Law School. Notre Dame has a storied role in the development of American conservatism’s first principles. I hold those principles dear and, as I will discuss today, our enforcement of the antitrust laws will reflect those principles. Indeed, we seek to bring these shared principles to our work every day: they include American patriotism; textualism and adherence to precedent; and a firm commitment to law enforcement.

Good morning. Today, the Department of Justice takes an important step forward to protect the American people from the perils of Big Tech. President Trump took the first big step in 2020 when his Justice Department filed an antitrust lawsuit against Google to challenge its dominance over internet search. Today, as the remedies phase of that case begins, President Trump’s Justice Department will finish the job.
