We deploy our experience of working with the most complex and highly regulated industries including life sciences, automotive, aerospace, government and defense, technology, food, consumer, insurance, and financial services. And of course, if disputes arise between our clients and their suppliers or customers, we are there to help resolve them in the most commercial and cost-effective way and, if necessary, represent them in any ensuing litigation. The same goes for consumer claims where we have unrivalled experience of defending individual claims, cross border claims, and class actions or other forms of collective action claims.

On a daily basis our team advises clients on the application of Directive 85/374/EEC on the liability for defective products – also known as the EU Product Liability Directive – to their businesses.

For more than a decade, we have engaged with the EU Commission's work in developing law and policy in the field of liability, new technologies, and the application of the EU Product Liability Directive.
