The Adlaw Insights podcast, with Brinsley & Geraint

Yes, we know, the world was simply crying out for another podcast, so here we are to answer that cry : )

As those who follow our Adlaw Insights blog may know, we are co-heads of the renowned Advertising & Marketing legal team at Lewis Silkin. In our (hopefully) unlawyerly way, we and our fabulous team bring you all the latest news and insights from the world of advertising law and regulation. It's hard to say ‘law and regulation’ in a sexy way, but we do our best to mix in a bit of humour, a pinch of levity and a handful of awful puns to the insights and news about and ASA rulings, CAP guidance, CMA investigations and new laws.

Podcast

We focus on recent developments - anything that is interesting, unexpected and important in the world of advertising marketing in the UK.

In this, our first ever episode, we explore key events from the summer of 2024, using social responsibility as our key theme. We pull together a some compelling examples and give our take.

There are links to the different ads and rulings that we cover, below.
