Description:
The United States Department of Justice and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, along with private plaintiffs, have recently brought several antitrust cases against large digital platforms including Google, Meta, Apple, and Amazon. The holdings and potential remedies in these cases may not only shape antitrust law in our digital era but also may impact the direction of platform innovation and antitrust law in the years ahead. This program considers the impact of the economics of multisided platforms on the case rulings and the effectiveness of the economic analysis raised in the cases. This CLE explores the black letter antitrust law and economic analysis at bar in these digital platform competition law cases to derive “lessons learned” from digital platform antitrust litigation in 2025.

Attendees will come away from this event with (1) a deeper understanding of recent antitrust analysis of multisided platforms; (2) a clearer perspective on the potential future direction of antitrust enforcement in the digital economy; and (3) practical knowledge about antitrust law as applied to prominent multisided digital platform business models such as digital payment services, digital advertising, mobile app stores, social media, online search, and E-commerce intermediaries.

This program is aimed at lawyers and economists who wish to gain further insights into the development of antitrust law involving multisided digital platforms.
