The requirements that products need to meet are manifold and difficult to keep track of. We assist those engaged in trade and industry early on, at the product development stage, by making them aware of any legal framework conditions that may exist and by pointing out the legal requirements and liability risks ahead of time. In areas where special governmental licensing procedures exist, we assist our clients by smoothing the way for market access.
Successful shielding against market risks
One focus of our advisory work is the chemical and substance law where we offer assistance with all regulatory issues. When it comes to product safety legislation, we advise our clients on the requirements within the harmonised as well as the non-harmonised field of standards, provide help to comply with labelling duties and assist with communicating with market supervisory agencies. Whenever necessary we clarify questions of principle in German and European courts.
From product liability to genetic engineering
Our advice does not end when our clients have sold their products to the end customer. We help companies to live up to their product responsibility on a long-term basis by offering them comprehensive advice on waste and circular economy law as well as take-back obligations. Whenever defence against product liability claims made under civil law is required, be it in or out of court, we combine our regulatory competence with the excellence of experienced litigators.
