Manufacturing & Industrial Production

Industrial productivity depends on structure — contractual, regulatory, and operational. Manufacturers face expanding duties on safety, environmental protection, and cross-border trade. We prepare and negotiate supply, logistics, and technology agreements; ensure compliance with EU product and environmental directives; and represent clients in warranty and liability disputes. Our lawyers also support transitions toward sustainable and automated production. By embedding governance and compliance into manufacturing processes, we convert regulation from a cost into a framework for stability and international competitiveness.
