Retail Compass Spring Edition 2022

How is technology shaping retail and consumer brands?

Welcome to the Spring edition of Retail Compass, where we guide you through the key legal and policy changes affecting retail and consumer brands and provide our thoughts on those crucial, need-to-know issues.

In this edition we're covering an array of topics about the challenges and opportunities for the sector including the digitisation of supply chains, the online sales tax consultation, the arbitration scheme for commercial rent arrears, the NMW hourly rate rise, NFTs, the resurgence of IP copyright claims and much more. 

Alongside our horizon scanning pieces and other developments, we have a guest contribution from techUK, on the retail revolution. 

We also include key statistics and links to our legislation tracker which lists all of the UK Government consultations and inquiries relevant to retail and consumer brands. 

We hope that you enjoy the Spring edition and find it useful. As always, please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any feedback or queries.
