The Report is set against the background of a somewhat fragile geo-political and economic landscape, and the challenges of managing day-to-day operations, strategy and business planning, new product launches, and navigating an increasingly complex regulatory environment.

With the Report, we aim to support you in addressing those tasks at a strategic level by heightening awareness of the key legal, regulatory and business challenges that will need consideration for all those involved in the digital, technology and creative sectors.

We reflect on the key developments from 2023, as well as key trends, from the deployment of generative AI tools to ESG values-driven  procurement. Looking ahead for 2024, there is a surge of imminent legislative change in the UK, from the Online Safety Act 2023 to the Football Governance Bill.

We hope that you enjoy reading the Report.
