Since 2010, the Global Law Experts annual awards have been celebrating excellence, innovation and performance across the legal communities from around the world.
In this Global Law Experts roundtable, competition and antitrust lawyers from India, Armenia and Nigeria compare how regulators are adapting enforcement to digital platforms, artificial intelligence and concentrated markets. Hosted by Jenny of Global Law Experts.
The discussion focuses on the gap between rules designed for large economies and the practical approach that smaller and emerging jurisdictions need. India is testing an ex ante framework for digital markets while widening its merger and penalty rules. Armenia is strengthening its ex post enforcement tools and aligning with EU standards without adopting gatekeeper regulation. Nigeria is adapting global competition doctrine to a fast-growing, largely informal market through its three-force enforcement framework. The panel also covers jurisdiction over non-resident platforms, the proportionality of fines based on global turnover, AI as both an enforcement tool and a subject of enforcement, and how regulators can stay predictable and independent under political and geopolitical pressure.
