Consumer goods

Our consumer goods experience encompasses a wide range of sectors including food, healthcare, beverages, tobacco, clothing and footwear, jewellery and luxury items, high tech and electrical products.

We support clients on strategic matters as well as day-to-day operational issues.

Our team of specialists understands and advises on each stage of product evolution and supply chain including NPD, manufacturing, marketing and distribution.

We recognise that there are many challenges in operating a consumer goods business. We regularly advise on issues such as R&D and collaboration agreements, brand development, intellectual property protection and exploitation as well as capital expenditure.

Clients look to us for advice on supply agreements, health & safety and environmental issues, employment matters, marketing and advertising (including ASA compliance), and online trading, social media and data protection. The team also supports on logistics and warehousing, and product issues and recalls.

The relationship between manufacturers, brand owners and retailers is often critical to success. We act for a wide range of retailers, including two out of the top five grocers in the UK. The team has an in-depth knowledge of how the retail supply chain works and we use this knowledge to support your consumer goods business.
