CMS is one of the few firms to join the dots across each element of the retail value chain – from the factory all the way to the shop floor (or the customer’s front door). 

We support retailers on their factory and warehouse projects. We advise them on the hugely complex technology, logistics and transportation contracts that underpin how goods reach shops and customers. We help them manage their vast store portfolios. We get them online. We get them digitised. And we help them navigate the complex rules that govern consumer engagement.

Our preeminent Retail team is ranked Band 1 for Retail by the Chambers legal directory and is trusted by some of the top retailers in the market, like Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury’s, Uniqlo, White Stuff, Dune, Yoox Net-A-Porter, Moss Bros, and French Connection.
