Supply Chain Risk Management

Supply chain disruptions can cost businesses money and harm their reputation and brand for life. As food brands grow and their supply chains become globalised, they face greater risks and vulnerabilities. We’ll work with you to assess the key supply chain vulnerabilities and implement a risk management plan that keeps those exposures to a minimum.

Brand and Reputational Damage

While standard protection might have been adequate a few years ago, now your brand and reputation can be tarnished at the touch of a button online. That’s why our food and drink clients require a more bespoke level of cover to protect them from these evolving risks.

Commercial Contracts

Our commercial legal services cover all eventualities, from global supply and purchase agreements to outsourcing of facilities, through to marketing and brand licensing. For renowned food and drink retailers, this comes with the territory.

Product Recall Insurance

The food and drink sector has seen an increasing number of product recalls for several reasons, including European packaging legislation and increasingly stringent food safety standards. We have specialist experience in addressing the threat of product recalls and implementing suitable crisis management plans.

International Legislation and Regulations

Today, the food and beverage industry faces a growing list of international legal and social issues to comply with, including competition, price inflation, affordability, food miles, packaging, and more.

Our partnership with Willis Towers Watson gives our clients the expertise of one of the world’s largest insurance brokers and the experience to help navigate businesses through highly technical issues such as food regulation.

Health and Safety Risk Management

No matter how safety-conscious your business is, accidents can still happen. Draw on our years of experience in incident response to mitigate your legal liabilities, and as a result, protect your corporate reputation.
