This section is an industry-focused table that ranks law firms that have a track record of serving the needs of large, national retailers. A retailer sells goods (not services) to consumers online or in person. This table includes leading firms and lawyers from around the UK. Lawyers from Scotland and Northern Ireland can be included here but they may also have their own dedicated table.
Firms may advise retailers on their real estate and planning needs, as well as logistics, franchising and technology matters. They may also demonstrate aptitude in assisting with a retailer's employment, tax and regulatory requirements, along with consumer protection issues and disputes.
Advice pertaining to a consumer good or brand (drinks, toiletries etc) is given less prominence here.
