Retail law roundup: April 2025
16 April 2025
Welcome to our retail law roundup, where we share legal updates for retailers and brands.
Our first article this month includes guidance for brands in relation to tariffs, such as points to check in their current contractual arrangements with supply chain partners.
Our other articles this month look at:
- the key obligations and steps businesses need to take to combat modern slavery,
- the EU ESG regulations facing the fashion industry,
- the use of hyper-personalisation in digital marketing, and
- the applications of the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 - also known as 'Martyn's Law' - for retailers.
We welcome your feedback and suggestions for future topics – we want to ensure our communications are valuable to you and your business.
