This Checklist supports planning for a print marketing campaign. It concentrates on marketing-specific needs, excluding wider transactional matters (eg contract formation, distance selling). Scope includes targeting and placement, agency agreements, data protection, advertising compliance, and prize or price promotions. It also addresses conformity with the UK’s legislative and self-regulatory framework, notably the unfair commercial practices rules in the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 (DMCCA 2024) and the UK Code of Non-broadcast Advertising and Direct & Promotional Marketing (CAP Code). Print ads remain pivotal to big-brand activity, across billboards, posters, brochures, leaflets, newspapers and magazines. In the UK, print advertising is overseen through a blend of industry self-regulation and statute. For a wider briefing on the UK advertising environment, see Practice Note: Advertising law and regulation.

In a 31-page published opinion, the Eleventh Circuit overturned the lower court’s dismissal of Alabama Aircraft Industries Inc, formerly Pemco, under the Missouri Trade Secrets Act, but clarified that unjust enrichment is the sole remedy it can obtain against Boeing, as the parties’ contracts blocked all other avenues of relief AAI might pursue. The decision is the latest turn in a years-long trade secret misappropriation and breach of contract dispute first brought in 2011. AAI claimed Boeing pursued a prolonged strategy to capture a lucrative US Air Force contract for servicing the KC-135 aerial refuelling aircraft, a contract AAI said it had held for decades. The companies initially agreed in the 2000s to team up on a maintenance bid. However, AAI alleged Boeing later excluded it from the arrangement and then secured the award by pricing just 1% below AAI’s proposal. When the matter finally went to trial in 2020, a jury awarded AAI more than US$2 m for Boeing’s alleged conduct, which included breaching a non-disclosure agreement and their...

The EU has rolled out a red carpet for AI in arbitration, but only those dressed for compliance get to walk it. Regulation 2024/1689 (the EU AI Act) took effect on 1 August 2024, setting companies on a path of steadily increasing obligations through to August 2026. Its purpose is to govern how AI is built and deployed so that systems are safe, transparent, traceable, non-discriminatory and environmentally sustainable. The regime is risk-led, slotting AI into risk-based categories (unacceptable, high-risk, limited-risk and minimal-risk), with legal obligations rising in line with the assessed risk. Core requirements include transparency, human oversight, cyber security and quality management, with the heaviest burden on high-risk AI. Its breadth and level of abstraction echo the EU General Data Protection Regulation. While the newest wave of AI—generative AI (Gen AI)—has only recently blossomed, the rules capture every AI system, with ‘AI system’ spanning simple algorithms through to sophisticated Gen AI systems. All sectors and users are affected, including law practitioners...

Background Financial conglomerates are sizeable groups active across more than one financial arena—banking, investment and insurance. They typically have intricate structures, operate across borders, and the wider organisation may include unregulated entities (from a financial legislation perspective), as well as entities not involved in financial services or engaged in non-financial activities. Historically, the bancassurance approach has been the leading operating model for such groups. Bancassurers bring together banking and insurance within a single organisation, enabling a full range of financial products in a one-stop shopping model—from conventional banking, through mutual funds, to insurance products. For insurers, bancassurance opens new distribution channels supported by a stable customer base; for banks, it broadens the product mix and lifts profitability by selling more through the same infrastructure already in place, thereby reducing fixed and overhead operating costs (economies of scale). Financial conglomerates conduct a variety of financial activities, each supervised under its own sectorial regime. There was a concern that this sectorial focus produced gaps and failed to capture the risks generated...

This month features a standstill and hold separate order by the Belgian Competition Authority against Proximus for a non-notifiable acquisition under abuse of dominance rules; amendments to Morocco’s merger control thresholds; the publication of draft Swiss legislation introducing, amongst other measures, a new exemption from the notification obligation; and the Federal Trade Commission in the USA proposing changes to the pre‑merger notification form and process. Belgian—BCA imposes standstill and hold separate order under abuse of dominance rules In our March 2023 monthly merger update, we noted that the Belgian Competition Authority (BCA) had launched an ex post investigation, based on abuse of dominance rules, into Proximus, the incumbent Belgian telecoms operator, following its recent acquisition of EDPnet. The transaction did not meet Belgian merger control thresholds owing to EDPnet’s turnover. This move follows the Court of Justice’s Towercast judgment of 16 March 2023, which confirmed that concentrations below merger thresholds can be subjected to ex post scrutiny for abuse of dominance. Towercast therefore recognises an additional path...

STOP PRESS: At the 2025 Budget, the government confirmed plans to legislate against IHT avoidance that exploits the situs of personal assets and trust property. A key proposal expands rules on indirect holdings of UK residential property to capture UK agricultural property. For further detail, see: Budget 2025—Private Client analysis — International and Policy Paper: Inheritance Tax: anti-avoidance measures for non-long-term UK residents and trusts. This Practice Note outlines amendments to the excluded property rules from 6 April 2017 introduced by the Finance (No 2) Act 2017 (F(No 2)A 2017). As a result, UK inheritance tax (IHT) is charged on UK residential property owned by (or on behalf of) a long-term UK resident (LTR), whether held directly or via intermediate structures, unless the interest is through a diversely held vehicle. Before 6 April 2025, when domicile stopped being a relevant consideration for IHT, these provisions applied to individuals who were not domiciled, or were deemed domiciled, in the UK. For guidance on how domicile affected IHT, see Practice Note:...

Resident Labour Market Test (RLMT) When placing a vacancy under the resident labour market test (RLMT), a sponsor must retain a screenshot of the website taken on the day the advert first goes live, unless the advert itself shows the date it was posted, in which case the screenshot can be produced at any point while the listing remains valid. See Practice Note: Resident Labour Market Test. If the wording of the advert is altered, the screenshot held by the sponsor to meet the above requirement will not match the actual particulars of the role (including the remuneration package). This inconsistency could lead, on audit, to a finding that the RLMT process was not followed. To minimise the risk of non-compliance on this matter, it is advisable to repost the advert, capture the requisite screenshots on the first day it appears as required by the RLMT, and refrain from changing the advert’s contents throughout the minimum 28-day period...
