Washington, D.C. — The American Economic Liberties Project has announced the appointment of Phillip Berenbroick as Senior Strategist for Policy and Advocacy. Berenbroick previously served as Chief Counsel, Competition & Technology, for the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Antitrust Subcommittee, where he played a key role in shaping legislative responses to corporate dominance. n nBerenbroick expressed enthusiasm about transitioning from Capitol Hill to a leading advocacy organization at the forefront of the anti-monopoly movement.
