The UK merger regime is changing. The Digital Markets Competition and Consumers Act is expected to come into force in fall 2024 and will usher in significant changes to the UK merger control rules: enabling the Competition and Markets Authority to review an even wider range of deals and for the first time, requiring mandatory reporting for certain big tech deals (along with a standstill period).

Our Summer Associate Hackathon was a hit, with participants leveraging legal AI platform Harvey and traditional tools to tackle a real-world assignment. The challenge? They had to develop a methodology, verify their findings and explain the use case to senior lawyers posing as clients. Their adeptness at evaluating AI and giving practical advice to “clients” on its benefits and limitations was stellar. A big thank you to our class of 2024 Summer Associates, Legal Personnel, Knowledge & Innovation, PW senior lawyers and the Harvey team for making the event a success! Class of 2024 - Get ready for our fall Hackathon! #SummerAssociates2024 #LegalTech #AI
