Digitisation and platform economy

Digitisation is changing the way we inform ourselves, communicate and consume. However, digital change not only creates new products and services, but also leads to upheavals in markets and requires market players to rethink their business models. The platform economy in particular is gaining in relevance as a result of digitisation and is being accelerated impressively.

We advise our clients in areas of the digital economy, for example on the sharing economy, digital platforms, competition issues and how current challenges can be effectively placed in the political discourse.
