If you attended our ADVice seminar in January, you will have heard Zoe Pearman, a Principal Associate in our Intellectual Property and Advertising team, speak about consumer law following the Digital Markets Competition and Consumers Act (DMCCA).
The purpose of this podcast is to highlight some of the key points discussed, including the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA)’s new powers, how the CMA is using those expanded enforcement powers and key areas under regulatory scrutiny: fake and incentivised reviews to drip pricing and price transparency. The episode also offers some practical steps businesses should be taking now and offers a timely reminder that consumer law compliance can no longer be treated as a “nice to have”.
If you’d like to discuss any of the points raised or any other aspects of consumer law or the DMCCA, please do contact Dan Smith or Zoe Pearman.
This information is accurate as at the date of recording (19 March 2026). Legal and regulatory guidance may change, so we recommend checking the latest DMCCA developments and CMA enforcement actions.
