Rich Parker, Antitrust partner at Milbank LLP, spoke at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) 2026 Global Business Policy Forum on October 20.
The fireside chat, titled “Antitrust Without Borders: The Growing Global Reach of Competition Enforcement,” focused on the transformation of antitrust enforcement into a global enterprise. Mr. Parker drew on decades of experience at the highest levels of antitrust enforcement and litigation to offer an insider’s perspective on the landmark competition cases and merger reviews reshaping the US economy, the growing influence of antitrust regulators around the world, and what the next chapter of global competition policy means for corporations, consumers and markets worldwide. He was joined by Michael Dorff, executive director of the Lowell Milken Institute.
Mr. Parker is a graduate of the UCLA School of Law, and in addition to private practice, he served as the Senior Deputy Director and then as Director of the Bureau of Competition at the FTC. He was recently highlighted in a Global Competition Review feature article on his 50-year career.
