John leads the global media and entertainment sector group at Osborne Clarke and advises complex and disruptive platform businesses on the development and regulation of future-facing digital services. He has extensive experience across OTT and D2C services, including ecommerce stores, video sharing platforms, social media services, online marketplaces, music streaming platforms and interactive entertainment services. His practice focuses on complex media and technology agreements, ecommerce and consumer law, broadcast and digital regulation, and multi jurisdictional compliance. John’s digital regulation work spans the full lifecycle of platform services – from launch and in life operation to closure and transition - helping clients navigate evolving regulatory frameworks in the UK, EU and beyond.
Europe's enforcement era has arrived. The European Commission has made clear that digital regulation enforcement is a top priority, with consumer protection rules including the DSA, Platform to Business Regulation and the landmark Digital Fairness Act creating unprecedented scrutiny of platform practices.
For in-house counsel, the challenge isn't just achieving compliance today - it's building an evidence base that protects you in tomorrow's enforcement investigations and actions. This session shows you how to comply with an eye to defence: ensuring that your documentation is in order alongside robust governance frameworks, and audit trails so that when regulators come knocking, you're not scrambling to reconstruct what you did and why.
