Akin was pleased to support the 7th edition of Global Competition Review Live: Antitrust in the Digital Economy, which took place April 1 in Washington, D.C. Co-chaired by Eleanor Fox and Milena Robotham, Akin head of international competition Davina Garrod spoke on the panel “Big Tech: Navigating Antitrust Laws and Ex Ante Regulation,” focusing on the key differences between the UK DMCCA and the EU DMA, including greater flexibility in the tailored UK Codes of Conduct, and the practical ability of the DMU to designate SMS firms in the all-important cloud services space.    Davina and her fellow panelists discussed what was needed in order to increase the effectiveness of remedies in the behavioral antitrust context, where competition authorities have faced particular challenges in terms of remedy design, implementation, enforcement and judicial review. Davina noted that behavioural economics, sectoral regulators and monitoring trustees can help support the competition authorities in this difficult endeavour.   #GCRLive #Antitrust #DigitalEconomy

Delaware has approved significant amendments to the DGCL, impacting corporations and shareholders. The new legislation introduces a safe harbor for certain transactions involving controlling stockholders, reducing the risk of legal challenges. Stockholder inspection rights have been limited, with financial statements and board minutes only available for the past three years and stricter procedural requirements. These changes aim to address 'DExits' and reshape shareholder derivative litigation.
