Oil Shock, Hollywood’s $110bn Merger

Episode 1

Monday, March 9, 2026 • Duration 25:54

Welcome to the very first episode of The ZipLaw Briefing!

Each week, we break down the biggest business and legal stories shaping the global economy — and explain why they matter for law firms and aspiring lawyers.

In this episode we discuss:

The Iran War and the global oil shock

How disruption in the Strait of Hormuz is pushing oil prices higher and raising the risk of renewed inflation.

Hollywood’s $110 billion mega-merger

Paramount Skydance’s proposed acquisition of Warner Bros Discovery and the competition scrutiny it may face from regulators in the US, UK and Europe.

Visa & Mastercard competition litigation

A major collective claim in the UK Competition Appeal Tribunal where merchants — represented by firms including Stephenson Harwood, Scott + Scott and Harcus Parker — are challenging interchange fees charged by the payment networks.

Telegraph Media Group sale

Axel Springer’s £575 million acquisition of the Telegraph and the political sensitivities around media ownership in the UK.

Quick-fire legal headlines

Including AI competition in government contracts, tech sector layoffs linked to automation, and a major restructuring involving BrewDog.

If you’re interested in commercial awareness, business news and how global events translate into legal work, this podcast is for you.
