As 2025 unfolds, eight U.S. states have put forward legislation requiring major corporations to notify state attorneys-general before completing mergers. The move signals stricter oversight of large-scale consolidations, though corporate entities are expected to mount considerable lobbying campaigns to block or weaken such measures. The trend reflects growing scrutiny on market consolidation across industries.

Regulation is here, big companies have to hustle again. This anti-monopoly crackdown is serious.

Coming back with the anti-monopoly rhetoric? Big companies have long been prepared with lobbying strategies. How long this bill can last remains to be seen.

Is this another anti-monopoly tactic? These big corporations should have been regulated long ago; mergers and acquisitions are happening all the time.

The big players are being watched closely again. Is this really happening this time...

This is just the same old trick again, with regulatory authorities putting on a show while companies still spend money to get around it... Do they really think they can block the power of the tycoons?

Big companies still waiting for notifications? Now the capital players are getting nervous. Before the merger, they still have to say hello to the state attorney general.

Here comes the old game of regulation vs. big capital again. The move by eight states in the U.S. is quite interesting. However, the corporate legal teams have long been ready to go, essentially just waiting to see who has more lobbying funds.

NGL, the anti-monopoly stance is really coming, with eight states taking action together, which is no small matter... But do you believe that the lobbying teams of big corporations have already been lining up in Washington?
