Our firm advises many clients in the retail and manufacturing sectors.

 

On the commercial side, we advise on intellectual property issues, advertising, distribution/franchising, trading standards, consumer protection, and on implementing new information technology solutions and structuring ventures. We have a particularly strong reputation for outsourcing and procurement-related advice and we are recognised by legal directories as a market leader in this area.

 

Our corporate team has a broad range of experience, regularly acting for manufacturing and retailing clients on corporate acquisitions and disposals, intra-group reorganisations including multi-jurisdictional acquisitions, IPOs, fundraisings and private equity transactions.

 

Our highly-rated litigation and dispute resolution team assists clients with domestic and international disputes arising from their business and trading relationships. We also have a specialist product liability team dealing with contentious and non-contentious matters.

 

Our highly-respected employment team provides clients with employment and pensions advice, while our tax department regularly advises on VAT issues. Other services include advising on insurance, property and environmental law that specifically impact the manufacturing and retailing sectors.
