In this conversation, Ethan Glass, a partner with Cooley Law Firm, discusses the complexities of antitrust in the housing market. As an antitrust expert and litigator with about eight years of experience with the Department of Justice (DOJ), Ethan was able to give a broad perspective on legal actions against multifamily revenue management, including:
The stages of litigation, the role of discovery, and the differences between private and DOJ cases.
The commercial drivers and processes behind private suits, like the class actions affecting multifamily.
The DoJ's legal rationale, the details of its lawsuit, and why they suggest a more speculative strategy than we might expect.
The changing application of antitrust laws, which were created in a different economic context.
Why multifamily companies should balance risks and benefits rather than just comply with 'no' advice.
Why the multifamily industry must stand firm in the face of these lawsuits.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
