Research & Development
R&D is an ongoing commitment for successful businesses. Our IP, commercial contracts and human resources experts advise on ways to maximise the value of intellectual assets while ensuring they are protected, now and in the future.
Manufacturing
From facilities to I.T., supply chain management to workplace health and safety, running effective manufacturing sites is a complex business. We understand what it takes to manage a successful manufacturing operation and work with our clients every step of the way to help them achieve their aims.
Advertising & Promotion
In an increasingly complex communications environment, balancing legislative compliance with achieving maximum cut-through from promotional activities is a constant challenge. Our commercial team has a wealth of experience in advising the marketing departments of major international brands on how to get this balance right.
Distribution
Often the unsung hero of business strategy, an effective approach to distribution can make the difference between success and failure. We advise on domestic and international distribution frameworks, with a particular expertise in franchising and retail networks.
Retail
With a greater number of retail sales channels, comes increasing complexity. In an environment where consumer purchasing behavior has changed significantly, we deploy a range of skills in technology law, commercial contracts, HR Law and real estate, to help ensure our clients’ ‘clicks’ and ‘bricks’ retail operations are a success.
Customer Relations
Customer experience is an essential part of the success of any consumer business. We help clients establish frameworks that anticipate and address issues to avoid a crisis. When problems do occur with customers, we manage the situation pragmatically and constructively, knowing that we can deploy a robust approach to disputes, if they occur.
