From safeguarding privacy, data protection and cyber security, to providing day-to-day guidance on commercial and technology contracts, our team is deeply embedded in VWG’s operations.

We’ve partnered on major projects involving tech procurement, business process outsourcing and logistics, while also delivering strategic advice on litigation and dispute resolution.

Our real estate specialists manage sites across the UK, handling acquisitions and disposals with precision and care.

Jim Trainor, General Counsel and Compliance Officer at VWG, commented: “We’ve worked closely with Shoosmiths for over 20 years and, as a result, the team has a great understanding of our business and sector, as well as our ways of working and our preferences for how we like to work. This has been enhanced over the years by many of the Shoosmiths team spending time on secondment with us”.

For more than 20 years, this trusted relationship has been strengthened by secondments and close collaboration, giving us an unrivalled understanding of VWG’s sector, business priorities and preferred ways of working.
