Close up of people in a meeting, hands holding pens and going over papers

Register your interest* to join our in-person event which will explore the impact that business engagement and the building of relationships with digital regulators in the UK can have on enforcement risk. 

You'll hear from a panel of senior representatives from the ICO, CMA, Ofcom along with UK Finance who will give their insights on:

  • Regulatory priorities on digital regulation
  • Expectations of regulator-business relationships within a complex digital landscape
  • Available methods for engagement and communication and what good looks like
  • Their approach to enforcement, current and future priorities, and what to do (and not do) when things go wrong 

Following the panel, Osborne Clarke’s digital regulation enforcement experts will lead a discussion on the realities of working with regulators across sectors, sharing experiences, looking at how to spot the signs that enforcement is on the horizon, and overcoming challenges within your business.
