Grocery retail

We act for two of the top five grocery retailers in the UK, which is widely recognised as one of the world's leading grocery markets.

Our team has extensive experience of acting for both grocers and those involved in the retail supply chain. We therefore understand a grocer's priorities and the ways in which it manages its many suppliers.

Our experience has given us a unique insight into the emerging trends in the sector, including the growing use of technology and innovation online and in-store.

We recognise that protecting our clients' brand and reputation has never been more important. We're supporting grocers on issues such as intellectual property protection, supply chain integrity, data protection, trading standards and GSCOP compliance.

The team helps retailers adapt their property portfolios to support omni-channel strategies. We regularly advise multi-site operators on real estate portfolio management, facilities management and strategic acquisitions and disposals.

We have a specialist grocery retail employment practice which expertly tackles retail-specific issues around recruitment, retention, skills and trade unions.

TLT also brings comprehensive knowledge and experience of both retail and financial services and the ever-increasing nexus between the two sectors around store cards, card payments processing, general banking and insurance arrangements.
