US Election 2024: Global Implications

The outcomes of the 2024 US presidential and congressional elections may have implications, both short- and long-term, for businesses and organizations across all industries and around the world. Morgan Lewis has assembled a cross-disciplinary team of lawyers who regularly represent clients before all federal agencies, including executive agencies (the Departments of Justice and Education, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Federal Trade Commission, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and US Securities and Exchange Commission), and congressional committees and inquiries.

Our 2024 US presidential election global implications team is primed to help clients navigate the pre- and post-election landscape by providing executive order analyses and updates on key agency developments and regulations and will develop programming and guidance regarding legal and business developments in the weeks and months to come.

How We Can Help

Our team stands ready to guide clients through the full spectrum of current and future issues including:

Antitrust Enforcement

Our team’s extensive knowledge spans the spectrum of competition law—from obtaining global pre-merger approval of competitive transactions, to responding to investigations by government authorities and defending class action and competitor lawsuits, to advising on issues involving intellectual property, competitor collaborations, and other antitrust matters.

Appellate Litigation

We have briefed, argued, and won many cases before the US Supreme Court, every US Circuit Court of Appeals, and numerous state appellate courts. We also maintain an active amicus curiae practice, filing briefs on behalf of market leaders, industry groups, and members of Congress in federal and state courts across the United States.

Climate Change & ESG

Clients turn to Morgan Lewis as they address how climate change impacts their businesses and communities—whether through reducing their carbon footprints, securing tax benefits, or implementing an environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategy.

Congressional Investigations

With many of our lawyers returning to Morgan Lewis after serving in the highest levels of government, we maintain strong relationships with government agencies and regulators. Our bipartisan congressional investigations team routinely represents clients before a wide range of Senate and House committees, subcommittees, and offices.

Corporate Investigations and Criminal Enforcement

Our team of former senior Department of Justice (DOJ) officials understands the nuances of corporate criminal investigations. When there is new DOJ leadership, we assist clients in navigating policy and personnel changes in an agency whose actions have been a topic of significant discussion during the campaign.

Financial Services Counseling and Litigation

Our global financial services lawyers regularly represent many of the largest financial institutions in the United States in high-stakes litigation and government investigations. We also assist clients in avoiding potential litigation by performing internal investigations, communicating with government agencies, and developing robust and compliant business procedures.

Global Employment and Immigration

We advise clients on cross-border projects involving employees and workplace laws in North America, Asia, Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East. Our full-service team helps multinational employers manage their global workforces in line with their global business objectives.

International Trade and National Security

With a cross-border team of professionals who understand the intricacies of navigating global investigations, we help clients investigate and resolve matters under US export and import laws, including—but not limited to—International Traffic in Arms Regulations, Export Administration Regulation, and Office of Foreign Assets Control regulations.
