Our product compliance specialists are adept at handling business critical contentious and non-contentious matters arising from your products at R&D, in life, product failure and end of life stages. We help you to ensure compliance with current regulations and to prepare for upcoming changes and challenges in the legal landscape.
We advise UK and global brands on product related matters from regulation, categorisation and licensing of innovative new products to launching these into new markets, often working with local partner firms to deliver specialist local knowledge. We support on labelling, marking, testing and all aspects of compliance with the ‘New Approach’ Directives/Regulations and the General Product Safety regime.
We continue to support brands with the complexities of product compliance and selling internationally post-Brexit and ensure clients are kept informed about future regulatory changes.
Our approach is proactive, and client focused. We understand that product safety is not just about legal compliance — it's also about maintaining the trust of your customers and the integrity of your brand. That's why we work closely with you to understand your products, your market, and your business goals.
We also understand that not everything goes to plan, so we provide pragmatic advice and support in relation to regulatory interventions and investigations by enforcing authorities arising out of issues with product safety and non-compliance.
