Manufacturing depends on the coordination of procurement, production capacity and delivery. We provide legal support for the organisation of manufacturing operations, investment in facilities and arrangements with suppliers, customers and other business partners.
We consider contracts in the context of the production process, focusing on quality, deadlines, liability and continuity of supply. Alongside day-to-day business matters, we advise on the acquisition and financing of manufacturing companies, employment and the protection of know-how and commercial interests.
