The recent annual Berkeley Spring Forum on M&A and the Boardroom welcomed a roster of high-profile speakers and panelists in San Francisco. That list included California Attorney General Rob Bonta, Federal Trade Commission Commissioner Melissa Holyoak, Nevada Supreme Court Justice Lidia S. Stiglich, and the last three general counsels of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Presented by our Berkeley Center for Law and Business, the event addressed timely topics such as AI and data regulation, European Union antitrust issues, and SEC priorities for 2025.
