Horizon Scanner

Horizon scanning developments: January 2025

Introduction

We are delighted to provide you with Freeths’ review of key legal developments anticipated in 2025. We have focussed on legal developments of interest to commercial businesses as at 17 January 2025, and the key impacts for business that arise from those developments.

This review does not purport to offer a comprehensive assessment of how every development might impact the specific circumstances facing your business. We also acknowledge that the new Government is bringing forward an expansive legislative programme that will change the landscape as the year progresses. Nevertheless, we hope that this review provides a helpful resource for highlighting key potential areas of significance or concern. Our Freeths experts will be happy to provide specific legal advice on any areas that you would like to explore further.
