Trump nominates the FCC's top attorney to lead the Department of Justice Antitrust Division, signalling a shift in enforcement philosophy and personnel at the agency responsible for reviewing major tech, telecom and defence M&A.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Your M&A just got a new gatekeeper with an FCC track record — expect faster review cycles on telecom deals and tighter scrutiny on platform consolidation, but looser standards on defence and infrastructure plays. Call your antitrust counsel this week to map which of your customers' acquisition plans now have a clear path.
