Innovation and technological developments have been rapidly influencing the sector in areas such as ride-sharing and traditional ride-hailing (i.e. taxis). Businesses are also seeking to adapt and look at ways to effectively commercialise the increasing demand for more flexible and fixed-cost vehicle use packages through vehicle subscription services.
We work with clients on the key issues impacting this sector, in particular where the applicable law is out-dated (for example, in relation to e-bikes and e-scooters) and governments and regulators struggle to ensure that the applicable regimes keep pace with technological and industry developments. Our advice ranges from providing a global outlook from a competition and trade perspective to supporting on strategic disputes, M&A, financings, compliance matters and addressing specific local regulatory, employment and intellectual property considerations.
