Market & consumer developments, regulatory changes,
resetting our relationship with Europe...

...Welcome to our Retail & Consumer Horizon Scanner 2020

Use the AG Scanner to visualise and plan 2020 with your key stakeholders, to navigate challenges and maximise opportunities.

"Sustainability, Digital Consumer Engagement and the Future of Employment.
Each is a critical challenge, each is also creating opportunity for businesses to connect and engage with the consumer, to innovate and differentiate. Each being heavily regulated, they are also great opportunities for legal teams to drive thought leadership in the business."

Get a first-hand insight into key business questions:

• What is happening in the market?

• What should businesses do next?

What you will find in the scanner:

• Key sector trends – focus on the trends that are reshaping the industry
• Timeline – key dates and changes through the year
• Developments – other areas where change is coming through the year
• Consultations – ongoing areas of regulatory review and likely future change
• International snapshot – various other developments from around the world

Each of the key trends is a critical challenge to the retail and consumer sector, but also creating opportunity for businesses to connect and engage with the consumer, to innovate and differentiate. In each case, regulatory change will be interwoven with consumer demand for authentic engagement. Businesses need to change proactively to stay ahead.

The AG Retail & Consumer sector team will continue monitoring new areas of public and regulatory interest, new ideas and innovations from around the world to help businesses navigate through the challenges and take on the opportinities that arise.

We would love to hear more about your thoughts on the year ahead and talk about any areas of particular interest or concern – please do get in touch with us to discuss further.
