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.

• 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?
