The Digital Lawyer: The EU Digital Markets Act

Welcome to "The Digital Lawyer," our latest podcast series created to help businesses navigate the complexities of the ever-evolving digital landscape.

In this 11-part series, we explore the impact and challenges of recent and upcoming legislation across the UK and EU. Each episode brings you insights from our experts to help you stay ahead in the digital world.

In this episode, our host Beverley Flynn, Head of Data Protection, is joined by Charlie Maurice, Head of Technology, and Quintin Farley, Associate in our Commercial and IT team. Together, they explore the EU Digital Markets Act. Over a year since its enactment, many digital platform providers are now expected to be fully compliant, but what does that mean for providers in the tech space? In this podcast, we discuss:

• Big Tech and the need for the EU Digital Markets Act
• Who does this Act apply to?
• What is a gatekeeper and what new restrictions and obligations apply to them?
• Timeline and updates relating to the Act
• Who will enforce the Act, what powers will they have and what fines may apply?
• Is there any crossover between the EU Digital Markets Act and the EU Digital Services Act?
