Google Search: A View from the Counsel’s Table

Join us in-person or virtually as Jonathan Sallet, lead litigator for the State Plaintiffs in the landmark US v. Google search antitrust case, breaks down the trial and remedies issued by the court. 

The US v. Google case put a spotlight on Google’s anti-competitive behavior to maintain its illegal monopoly in online search, including its payments worth billions of dollars annually to distributors like Apple, Samsung, and Mozilla that locked in Google search as the default on nearly every mobile device and much of the desktop browser market. 

At this event hosted by the Knight-Georgetown Institute and Georgetown’s Institute for Technology Law and Policy, Jonathan Sallet will speak about key aspects of the trial and the remedies issued by the court. There will be time for Q&A.

• Date & Time: October 8, 2025. 12:30-2:00 PM for in-person (1:00 – 2:00PM for Zoom attendees)
• Location: Georgetown McCourt School of Public Policy Auditorium (125 E St. NW, Washington, D.C.)

Registration is required. Lunch will be provided for attendees who join in person. Those who wish to join virtually will be sent a Zoom link. Register here. 

Note if you are joining in person, we request that you please arrive at least 15 minutes early (around 12:15pm) to check in and get lunch.
