Trade regulation describes the body of law and regulatory measures governing how businesses buy, sell and supply goods and services, both domestically and in international trade. It is a broad, descriptive term rather than a single defined concept, and in UK and Irish practice typically encompasses competition law, consumer protection law, unfair commercial practices, sector‑specific regulatory regimes, and rules on imports, exports and customs.Key legal instruments include the Competition Act 1998, Enterprise Act 2002, retained EU competition and consumer law in the UK, and the Competition Act 2002 and Consumer Protection Act 2007 in Ireland, together with EU internal market and trade rules (for Ireland) and the UK’s post‑Brexit trade arrangements. Competition authorities (CMA in the UK; CCPC in Ireland) and sector regulators play a central role.In commercial practice, advising on trade regulation involves assessing distribution and supply agreements, pricing and exclusivity arrangements, merger control, market dominance issues, cross‑border sales restrictions, and compliance with consumer and advertising standards. Usage of the term is broadly consistent across England and Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland, though specific statutory frameworks and retained EU law differ.

Corporate Crime analysis: Following the announcement of the creation of the Office of Trade Sanctions Implementation (OTSI) in December 2023, the UK government has confirmed that OTSI will be launching on 10 October 2024.

The Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 (SAMLA 2018) created a UK specific framework for the implementation and enforcement of sanctions in the UK post-Brexit. The substantive UK sanctions regimes have been introduced through secondary legislation and SAMLA 2018 makes provision for regulations to be made on the enforcement of any prohibition or requirement imposed by a regulation. See Practice Notes: The UK sanctions framework under SAMLA 2018 and UK sanctions regimes currently in force. SAMLA 2018 enables trade sanctions to be imposed under sanctions regulations. Trade sanctions are measures which restrict the direct or indirect import and export of goods, non-financial services or technology in relation to, or for use in or by a particular country, region or person. Note that trade sanctions overlap with, but are different from, export controls. See Practice Note: Understanding the UK trade sanctions regime—What are trade sanctions? Each individual sanctions regime may contain provisions relating to trade sanctions, listing the items and/or services which are prohibited. Regulations made under SAMLA 2018 create criminal offences
