Manufacturing

Specialist legal advice and guidance on a wide range of issues by one of the UK’s leading legal practices in the manufacturing sector.

The range of legal issues affecting the manufacturing sector is vast, from employers’ liability to public liability and from commercial debt recovery to health and safety, among many others. The sector itself and the markets it serves are equally diverse, covering industries as different as food production and steel making.

Weightmans' Manufacturing team has lengthy experience in every legal area likely to affect manufacturers, together with a solid understanding of the commercial background to the industry. We assess each case from a business perspective and recommend the action that is in your best interests as a client.

Teamwork is our byword, both within our own specialist unit and in our dealings with your staff and, where appropriate, your insurers. We work closely with everyone involved to help achieve your objectives as cost-effectively and as time-efficiently as possible.

With our nationwide presence and in-depth expertise, we are able to bring appropriate skills to bear in every situation, whatever the type of manufacturing. We can draw on individual experts in specialist areas of law, such as employers’ liability and public liability claims, and devote resources to specific types of business when required. One such example is our food and drink manufacturing packaging team, which provides an effective service to a significant share of the market.
