EU and UK counsel on the DSA, the Online Safety Act and overlapping content laws for online services.

About Cooley Trust, Platforms and Safety

Cooley's Trust, Platforms and Safety practice is part of the firm's European Tech Regulation group. The practice's lawyers have been advising clients on the DSA and the OSA since long before either act was in force.

The laws it covers include the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA) and the UK's Online Safety Act (OSA), which both apply to a wide range of online services. The page states that the two sets of laws are entirely separate and, at times, conflict.
