# *Rose Sheet* Quotes Partner John Villafranco on Trump’s FTC Chairman Nominee, Joseph Simons

 October 20, 2017

 

 

 

 

 

 

Partner [John Villafranco](/Our-People/John-E-Villafranco) was quoted in the *Rose Sheet* article ​“FTC Chair Nominee Links Ad Claims Enforcement To Consumers’ Loss.” Trump has nominated Joseph Simons to succeed Acting Federal Trade Commission Chair Maureen Ohlhausen. ​“On the consumer protection side, Joe’s experience will likely reinforce the policies” of Ohlhausen, ​“to put economic injury at the center of case selection,” said John. ​“The emphasis on fraud will likely continue, while actions and remedies that would regulate ordinary business practices will face the test of economic analysis. When it comes to dietary supplements, I expect he will have an open mind and rely on Commission precedent in picking his cases,” he added.

“He is a long-time antitrust practitioner with experience in private and public practice, and will bring a thorough and deliberative approach to the Commission that will fairly assess the business perspective,” John noted. ​“Simons notably has significant high tech and intellectual property experience, as well as merger experience, where economics predominates decision making.”
