Food & Beverage
De-risk your success formula
In a highly regulated consumer products industry, one wrong move can cost you. We help you stay compliant, competitive and in control.
Running a food, dietary supplement, beverage, or other regulated products business isn’t just about what ends up on the shelf or on the plate. It’s about operating in a fast-moving, highly scrutinised environment, where supply chains are fragile, consumer expectations are continuously evolving and regulatory landscapes are anything but static. One day you're launching a breakthrough product or expanding into a new market; the next, you're managing a labelling inquiry, a cross-border compliance issue, or the reputational fallout from a marketing misstep.
These aren’t just legal issues, they’re business realities, and you need to remain prepared. That’s why you need lawyers who don’t just know the law but understand your business and your world. The pressure points. The regulatory hurdles. The risks that aren’t always obvious until they are.
Proven experience. Singular service.
In a sector that never stands still, we deliver the experience, foresight and expertise to help you stay agile and navigate the challenges ahead. Here’s what makes us different:
Global reach meets local precision: We take a flexible, client-centric approach to cross-border matters, combining the strength of our international platform with a carefully curated network of trusted local specialists. This allows us to seamlessly assemble the right team, with the right experience and market insight, wherever and whenever you need support. No matter the jurisdiction, we ensure your business benefits from advice that’s both globally aware and locally informed.
At the heart of your industry: We don’t just follow the regulatory landscape, we help shape it. Actively engaged with key government departments, industry bodies, and leading trade associations, we work closely with our clients to anticipate important developments and advocate for practical, business-minded outcomes. This means you’re not just reacting to change, you’re taking part in the conversation.
“Whether you’re signing contracts, managing regulatory compliance, or engaging with government on key policy issues, you can count on us to deliver strategic advice that helps you anticipate risk and stay ahead of potential legal hurdles.”
— Lewis Retik, Leader, Food and Beverage Group
