Husch Blackwell attorneys from the firm’s Antitrust & Competition and White Collar, Internal Investigations, & Compliance practices will examine two emerging areas of government enforcement and regulatory scrutiny: right to repair legislation and litigation, and the Texas attorney general’s ongoing series of junk fee enforcement actions.
This joint webinar will explore how state attorneys general and federal regulators are increasingly using antitrust, consumer protection, and enforcement tools to pursue conduct traditionally viewed as compliance or disclosure‑driven—not purely criminal or competition‑based. The program will discuss the legal theories driving these enforcement efforts, recent settlement outcomes, and the evolving requirements that state and federal enforcers and legislatures are beginning to impose across industries. Drawing on recent analysis published in the Spring 2026 edition of the Journal of Consumer & Commercial Law, the speakers will provide practical insights into these developments.
Businesses—particularly those in the consumer electronics, automotive, agricultural equipment, equipment rental, hospitality, and e‑commerce sectors—will gain a clearer understanding of their regulatory and enforcement exposure, and learn concrete steps they can take to assess and strengthen their current compliance practices, mitigate investigation risk, and prepare for potential enforcement actions before issues escalate.
