Slaughter and May advised Warner Music Group on the CMA market study into music and streaming services

Slaughter and May advised Warner Music Group, a global music company, in relation to the Competition and Markets Authority’s (CMA) market study into music and streaming services. The market study considered, amongst other things, whether any potential lack of competition between music companies could affect musicians, singers and songwriters. In November 2022, the CMA published its final report concluding that competition operates effectively in the sector. The CMA therefore decided not to make a market investigation reference.
