Commercial and consumer regulation

We help our clients manage their commercial and compliance risk and successfully navigate the web of regulations and relationships that make up today's business environment.

We solve a wide range of business needs for our clients from day-to-day advice on commercial problems, producing standard contracts and negotiating with new partners or customers, to more complex needs arising from transactions, outsourcing or disputes.

Beyond the usual commercial legal advice, our team also has experience in creating innovative supply chain and tax structuring projects through close co‑operation with management consultants, logistics and tax experts in PricewaterhouseCoopers. These can involve migrating from a distributorship or agency model to a commissionaire or limited risk structure, or centralising business functions and developing shared service centres, or establishing new intra-group arrangements to achieve tax or operational efficiencies. As part of an international network, we can advise on multi-territory projects in over 70 countries.

We help our clients with cross‑border compliance advice, audits and policy reviews in a wide range of risk areas including consumer protection, sales promotion and product liability. Our regulatory practice also has a strong focus on data protection, data management and environmental law.
