Manufacturing Lawyers

With the sector responsible for about eight per cent of the UK’s GDP, continuing to support manufacturers’ contributions will remain a priority for the business community and a focus for the Government.

That being said, there is no doubt that economic volatility is weighing heavily on the industry.

Our mission is to make you robust to shocks, agile to opportunity and focused on profit through astute legal and commercial advice.

Comprehensive support for manufacturers

The manufacturing lawyers at Shakespeare Martineau understand the space in its entirety. Our team of commercially-minded lawyers are backed by a far-reaching industry network and years of relevant experience. We build a team around your needs to ensure that all your business interests are supported by specialists, regardless of scope or scale.

Manufacturing businesses are unique in many ways – often with significant amounts of physical assets such as plants and machinery, and sizeable, complex workforces. This makes it fundamental that you have access to advisers that help you respond to the dramatically changing world that you now face. We provide legal and corporate counsel on a wide range of matters, including:

• Corporate transactions
• Securing finance
• Insurance
• Procurement
• Competition
• Intellectual property
• Employment law

Our approach to manufacturing law

Our manufacturing solicitors typically support businesses ranging from £30m to £300m turnover on the full spectrum of corporate and commercial challenges. We combine meticulous legal knowledge with a rigorous commercial understanding of your sector.

We understand the constraints, foibles and hardened determination that many of you operating in the sector know all too well and we work with you to create positive outcomes and drive your business forward.

Working with you

We believe that the best working relationships are those that are based on trust, honesty and outstanding results. The manufacturing lawyers in our team invest time and resource in truly getting to know you and your business to ensure that we can continually add value, advice and understanding.
