Competition & Consumer in Digital Economy

Competition and consumer regulators continue to scrutinise digital platforms, consumer data rights and the operation of digital businesses.

Overview

In response, businesses need to establish sufficient structures and protections for their users, which is challenging when technologies and business models evolve faster than regulatory frameworks.

Building on our market-leading competition and regulatory practice, we help clients identify risk areas in our increasingly digital world, and plan to meet the challenges of transformative change. We leverage strong relationships with policy-makers and regulators to help us achieve the best results for our clients in digital law issues such as:

  • Digital platforms.
  • Competition law enforcement, including ACCC investigations.
  • Merger clearance for technology transactions.
  • Australian Consumer Law, including Consumer Data Rights.
