CONSUMER LAW & PRODUCT LIABILITY

Consumer law spans a broad cross-section of areas. It has a significant impact on all companies that sell, distribute or manufacture products or provide services to consumers, irrespective of their business sector.

In addition to the general laws which apply to all consumer contracts, there are special provisions governing the financial, electronic communications, energy, alcoholic beverages, tobacco, cosmetics, food, electrical and electronic equipment sectors. Consumer law is made up of a huge body of rules and regulations which has expanded exponentially in recent years.

The team includes lawyers from a variety of areas including corporate, litigation and European Union law.
