The Consumer Products sector is a fiercely competitive market. Right the way along the supply chain, organisations are under pressure to improve yield, cut costs and deliver value, while also reducing environmental impact and providing sustainable solutions. Businesses must cope with fluctuations in the cost of raw materials, funding pressures and consolidation in the market. Together with increasing requirements in the area of consumer protection and changing regulatory frameworks means that businesses need a legal team that understands the market and their needs.

As consumer product legislation differs around the world, CMS Cameron McKenna offers you access to a pan-European and global team. We know the industry and our role as lawyers involves not only understanding and explaining the law, but also shaping its future. We have particular expertise in M&A and cross-border transactions, and an excellent reputation in competition, IP, commercial, regulatory, real estate and banking, and we use it to advise manufacturers and distributors of consumer products in virtually all aspects of their activity: distribution, advertising, supply chain management, customer service, category management, brand protection or crisis management. Together, we offer a European footprint that is second to none.
