Dear Reader,

As spring turns to summer and competition policy debates continue to intensify across Washington and beyond, this month’s issue of The Forum examines some of the legal, regulatory, and structural dynamics increasingly influencing markets in 2026.

This edition features Tom Blakely on why juries may become Big Tech’s greatest challenge in antitrust litigation; Julie Eggington, Ekaterina Cleary, and Leeza Osipenko on fraud and accountability in laboratory testing; and Joel Thayer on United Airlines’ expansion strategy at Chicago O’Hare and the antitrust implications for competition and consumers.

We hope you enjoy this issue!
