   From AI to sustainability: the modern designer's survival guide

   It's no secret that artificial intelligence is changing the way designers work, but what does that mean for creativity, innovation and the future of the profession? In this podcast, our Global Co-Head of IP, John Coldham, is joined by a panel of experts from the worlds of design, technology and sustainability to explore the changes AI brings to the creative industries. This episode was recorded as part of the London Design Festival, where we celebrate the creativity and commercial impact of design. Our guests include: Geraint Edwards, Chief Growth Officer at tangerine; Rich Cahill, Chief Revenue Officer at terrible*; Frankie Hewitson, Founder and CEO of The Frank Co.; and Jack Haslehurst, VP of Design and Experience at Cleo. Together, they discuss how AI is changing the design process, the growing importance of sustainability and human-centred design, and the skills designers will need to succeed in the years ahead.

   Fake reviews and pricing under the DMCCA spotlight

   If you attended our ADVice seminar in January, you will have heard Zoe Pearman, a Principal Associate in our Intellectual Property and Advertising team, speak about consumer law following the Digital Markets Competition and Consumers Act (DMCCA). The purpose of this webinar is to highlight some of the key points discussed, including the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA)'s new powers, how the CMA is using those expanded enforcement powers and key areas under regulatory scrutiny: fake and incentivised reviews to drip pricing and price transparency.  The episode also offers some practical steps businesses should be taking now and offers a timely reminder that consumer law compliance can no longer be treated as a "nice to have". If you'd like to discuss any of the points raised or any other aspects of consumer law or the DMCCA, please do contact Dan Smith or Zoe Pearman. This information is accurate as at the date of recording (19 March 2026). Legal and regulatory guidance may change, so we recommend checking the latest DMCCA developments and CMA enforcement actions. ...

   Designing The Future - Balancing Heritage And Innovation

   It’s not uncommon for design-led businesses to have a rich heritage, but how do you make the most of that legacy while staying relevant to modern consumers? In this podcast, our Head of Brands and Designs Law John Coldham is joined by a panel of leading designers to explore how businesses can strike the right balance between heritage and innovation. This episode was recorded as part of the London Design Festival, where we celebrate the creativity and commercial impact of design. Our guests include: Sau-Fun Mo, Head of Design at the London Transport Museum; James Dwyer, Creative Director and owner of Lumsden; and Dan Flashman, Creative Director at Tangerine. Together, they share personal insights on how heritage can build trust and emotional connection, especially in challenging economic times, while also discussing the risks of appearing outdated. From designing experiences for British Airways, to the magical world of Harry Potter gift shops, and the future of London Transport Museum, each story was a brilliant reminder of the power of design to shape how we move, shop, and explore. ...
