Automatic Renewal Laws: Year End Review for 2025 and What’s Ahead for 2026

Automatic Renewal Laws (ARLs) - statutes governing automatically renewing subscriptions - have expanded rapidly across the United States, with numerous new laws and amendments introduced in recent years. At the same time, enforcement actions and private litigation under both federal law and state ARLs have surged, a trend expected to accelerate as more states adopt stricter consent and cancellation requirements in the face of deregulation on the federal level.

In this webinar, a team of professionals from Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP will explore the evolving ARL landscape and the risks companies face in navigating these complex and often conflicting statutes. They’ll examine how existing and proposed ARLs impact business operations, highlight key compliance challenges and share practical strategies for mitigating risk in an environment of heightened regulatory scrutiny. They will guide us in a lively presentation and discussion followed by a Q & A with attendees.

Key topics that will be covered include:

1. A year-end review for ARL developments in 2025;
2. What’s on the horizon for 2026;
3. Recent enforcement and litigation trends;
4. Compliance tips and best practices; and
5. Tools - like Manatt’s ARL Handbook - that can help you stay compliant.
