Digital companies operate globally which means they need to carefully navigate the new EU and UK digital markets regimes. In this episode, we highlight some of the key similarities and differences between the two regimes.

In Europe and the UK, the regulatory landscape is shifting for Big Tech. In this episode, we compare and contrast the EU Digital Markets Act and the UK Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act – and highlight the implications for multinational tech giants and the broader digital economy.

To do so, we have assembled a crack team of legal experts including Rafael Baena from Ashurst’s Madrid office, and Fiona Garside, Chris Eberhardt and Hayden Dunnett from Ashurst’s London office. Together, they consider the thresholds for designating companies under the two regimes, as well as the differing timelines, obligations and guidance in each jurisdiction. Recent developments and ongoing enforcement action are also discussed.
