Digital markets pose fundamental challenges for the private enforcement of antitrust, regulatory and consumer protection rules. These markets often feature platform-based business models, multi-sided markets, direct and indirect network effects, economies of scale and intricate eco-systems. Such features render competition issues more complex and create scope for exclusionary and exploitative practices.
While digital technologies can sometimes helpfully disrupt concentrated uncompetitive markets, they can also create new opportunities to collude, to exploit and to discriminate.
As the impact of the digital sector extends beyond information goods and services into other areas of the economy, civil society groups, firms across the economy, and policymakers are increasingly being forced into action to defend the rights of consumers and firms to participate in fair, open and competitive markets.
Fideres is one of the leading economic consultancies working to address misconduct in digital markets through research and litigation.
Through our investigative work, we identify evidence of violations of competition law, regulatory rules and consumer protection laws across the jurisdictions in which we operate.
We assist law firms and regulators throughout the life of the litigation, from filing to settlement.
