  • What a month — indeed what a year — this has been! We finally know who will be President of the United States next year. The question on everybody’s mind is what comes next. What can we lawyers expect from a Biden Administration? To answer that question, we have assembled a highly distinguished group of speakers from across the profession and broader national scene to help us look ahead. We will do this in a virtual program on the afternoon of December 4 that I hope will be of particular interest to you. Loretta Lynch, former U.S. Attorney General, will be our keynote speaker and address to the role of lawyers in upholding the rule of law. Four panels will cover the subjects we expect are foremost on your mind with respect to the new administration – Justice and Law Enforcement, Environmental Policy and Regulation, Healthcare Policy and Regulation and Business Policy and Regulation (including trade, tax, technology and China). For each panel, we have recruited top experts in their fields who will offer diverse perspectives from a range of different vantage points, including:

    • Current and former public officials U.S. Congressman Eric Swalwell, Former FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg, Former Federal Judge John Gleeson and New York Commissioner of Environmental Conservation Basil Seggos
    • Top academics including Abbe Gluck of Yale, Michael Gerrard of Columbia, and Mary McCord of Georgetown
    • Leaders from the private bar including Barry Berke of Kramer Levin, Antoinia Apps of Milbank, William Bernstein of Manatt Phelps, and Claire Reade and Jonathan Martel of Arnold & Porter
    • New York Times Journalists Sarah Kliff and Ana Swanson
    • Senior in house lawyers Roger Martella from General Electric, Helena Sullivan of Bunge and Michael S. Solender from EY
    • Public interest lawyer and leader Abigail Dillen
    • Tax leader and practitioner Kate Barton of EY
