Legal update on the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024
Join us for an essential webinar where we will provide a comprehensive legal update on the new Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 (the “DMCC”). These new UK laws will come into effect from January 2025 and are crucial for businesses operating in the UK, including those outside the UK selling goods, services, or digital content to UK consumers.
Agenda:
1. UK Competition Law Changes
We will discuss the expansion of the CMA’s investigatory and enforcement powers, changes to the merger control regime, and the new competition law regime for digital markets.
2. New Consumer Protection Powers
We will highlight the CMA’s new consumer protection powers, including fines of up to 10% of global turnover, changes to unfair trading practices regulation, and the new legal framework for subscription contracts with consumers.
3. Enhanced Legal Powers of the CMA
We will delve into the CMA’s enhanced legal powers and provide insights on how to navigate CMA investigations in competition law and consumer protection under the DMCC.
We look forward to your participation!
