Industrials

Representing some of the biggest industrials businesses in the world, our sector-focused team can help you with every aspect of your global operations.

Globalization, consolidation and disruptive technology are creating challenges and opportunities in the industrials sector.

We work with global industrial companies like yours on a daily basis. That gives us the ability to help you prosper in this evolving environment now and into the future.

Industrials have been at the heart of our business for decades. We represent some of the biggest names in the automotive, chemicals, manufacturing, and aerospace, defense and security industries. As such, we can provide a team of lawyers who understand your sector implicitly.

We are experienced in the wide range of issues applicable to your business. We work regularly with laws, rules and regulations governing supply chains, workforces and sites spread across multiple jurisdictions. We can help you with multijurisdictional corporate transactions and disputes, as well as all the leading issues of the day, including those relating to cyber and data privacy and environmental, social and governance.

Our Industrials group has been recognized by Acritas as having a top 10 brand globally. We can deploy innovative technology and tools on your behalf,  including AI systems, client communication hubs and alternative legal service solutions. The firm’s award-winning DealMaster tool was developed in conjunction with an industrials client for an international M&A deal. And we’ve worked on some of the biggest global reorganizations and carve-outs the industry has seen.

All of which means that when it comes to finding a legal partner for your industrials business, you’re in safe hands with us. 

Our lawyers can help you with every aspect of law affecting your industrials operations around the globe. Representative experience our global team includes advising:

  • a global high-tech manufacturer in cross-border ICC arbitration about the supply obligation in a long-term supply contract with a fixed price clause
  • an NYSE-listed global manufacturer in relation to all significant M&A transactions in Europe for the last 30 years
  • Fortune 500 and FTSE listed clients in the industrials sector on numerous cartel investigations, including the largest single cartel investigation currently under consideration by the European Commission in the automotive sector
  • a FTSE 100 engineering company on delivering global labor and employment law solutions across 45 jurisdictions throughout EMEA and Asia-Pacific, via our established international network
  • a FTSE 250 company on potential breaches of EU sanctions and ‘dual-use’ legislation, culminating in a voluntary disclosure to the authorities where ultimately no further action was taken
