Protecting innovation, reputation & consumer trust

Product regulation is complex, fast-changing, and high-stakes. Shoosmiths helps clients bring products to market with confidence — and respond decisively when things go wrong.

We provide contentious and non-contentious advice across the full product lifecycle, from design and labelling to safety, compliance, recall and civil claims. Our team supports manufacturers, importers, and retailers across sectors including consumer goods, tech, automotive, and life sciences.

We help clients meet UK and international regulatory requirements, manage risk in supply chains, and respond to investigations by Trading Standards, the OPSS, and other regulators. When liability claims arise — whether individual or group actions — we provide robust defence and strategic resolution.

With deep sector knowledge and a practical, collaborative approach, we help clients protect their products, their customers, and their brand.
