The digital economy is transforming day-to-day lives, with a rise in connectivity not only between people but also between vehicles, sensors, meters and other aspects of the Internet of Things. Yet, even as the Fourth Industrial Revolution accelerates, traditional concerns are keeping pace and the digital economy has also been a powerful force, increasing competition across a broad sweep of products and services. For that reason, practical and timely guidance for lawyers and enforcers trying to navigate this fast-moving environment is critical.


GCR’s Digital Markets Guide provides that detailed guidance and analysis. It examines both the current state of law and the direction of travel for the most important jurisdictions, while drawing on the wisdom and expertise of distinguished practitioners globally on subjects as diverse as how pricing algorithms intersect with competition law and antitrust enforcement in certain tech mergers.
