Retail Sector Overview

8 August 2016

At CMS we work hard to be a truly client focused law firm. This means understanding the unique needs and challenges of each market sector, and providing a tailored service addressing your particular concerns and requirements.

The retail sector in the UK and internationally faces significant challenges. Retailers must adapt fast as the lines blur between the high-street and online, as the requirements of omni-channel place pressure on supply chains, and as consumer behaviours continue to change. All the while they must tackle huge margin pressures generated by intense competition from discounters and growing supply chain costs, and grapple with a challenging regulatory environment, from rules on packaging and labelling to legislation in relation to online selling, and the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

CMS supports our retail clients on the full range of day-to-day matters including drafting and negotiating commercial contracts, including terms and conditions, franchise and concession agreements, consumer rights, IP and counterfeiting issues, compliance with regulations, supplier issues (including insolvency), labelling, product liability, compliance with packaging regulations and general commercial and corporate advice.
