London partner Matthew Hall co-hosted the April 14 episode of the ABA’s Our Curious Amalgam podcast: “What Is Happening at the UK CMA? Impact of the Government’s New Approach.”
The UK government elected in 2024 has a “growth” agenda and is pushing regulators including the UK Competition and Markets Authority to support this. What does the approach mean for the CMA? Veronica Roberts, lawyer at Herbert Smith Freehills, joins Blair Matthews and Matthew Hall to discuss the wide range of recent announcements and proposals from the CMA and government. Listen to this episode to learn more about the CMA’s future approach to enforcement of the UK merger control, antitrust, consumer protection and digital markets rules.
Our Curious Amalgam explores topics in antitrust, competition, consumer protection, data protection, and privacy law around the world with leading experts in those areas. It is an amalgam because it is a group of diverse topics all in one place. It is curious because it gets the experts and asks them in-depth questions.
