Maureen Ohlhausen and Taylor Owings, partners in Wilson Sonsini's antitrust and competition practice, along with associate Cora Allen, have co-authored an essay included in the newly released Concurrences book Artificial Intelligence and Competition Policy, published in September 2024. The book provides a provocative examination of key areas in competition-related AI scholarship and serves as a valuable resource for legislators, policymakers, and enforcers assessing how competition law can adapt to the challenges posed by AI.

Client Highlights

In April 2020, a pro bono team from Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati secured asylum for two asylum seekers from Mongolia. The clients, “A” and “N,” who were granted asylum on April 1 and April 17, respectively, were forced to flee Mongolia for the United States, after their employer repeatedly harassed, threatened, and physically assaulted them because they are lesbians. A and N were employed by a bank. When senior management at the bank discovered A and N are lesbians, they caused A and N to unknowingly perform illegal transactions on behalf of Mongolian government officials and then falsely accused A and N of crimes. When A and N refused to give false confessions to the government, they were repeatedly beaten, threatened, and harassed. A and N fled Mongolia out of fear for their safety. Wilson Sonsini successfully argued that they should be granted asylum in the United States based on the persecution they experienced in Mongolia because of their sexual orientation.
