Last week the LGN Government Relations team was excited to join its client, Nexus Family Healing, at the ribbon cutting for their new Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility. Nexus-East Bethel will provide individualized, trauma-informed psychiatric residential treatment services for youth with a higher level of mental and behavioral health needs. The event was made particularly special by the presence of Lieutenant Governor Flanagan, DHS Commissioner Harpstead, Senate Human Services Chair Hoffman, and House Human Services Chair Fischer. LGN also recently sponsored Nexus Family Healing’s “Night for Nexus” event which supports efforts to expand services and ensure every child can access the care they need.  

Heidi Silton led a panel discussion at the American Antitrust Institute’s 17th Annual Private Antitrust Enforcement Conference on Thursday, November 2, 2023, at the National Press Club in Washington DC.  Heidi and others discussed “Big Tech: Antitrust Lessons from the Battlefield,” and shared insights on the status and trajectories of multiple antitrust actions currently pending against tech giants Google, Apple, Facebook, and more.

Heidi also served as the Chair of AAI’s Antitrust Enforcement Awards Committee and presented awards to the 2023 Honorees. Congratulations to those honored as the leading legal antitrust practitioners and economists of 2023.
