Product Liability & Consumer Protection
Trends related to more extensive consumer protection and increasingly active supervisory authorities mean that consumer protection and liability issues are an increasing priority. Vigilance in this area is essential to maintain the reputation of products and businesses, and to counteract any unfair or aggressive tactics on the part of competitors. Virtually every manufacturer, distributor or trader of consumer products and services will eventually encounter ambiguous or deficient legal regulations, consumer claims, or aggressive interpretations of legal provisions by the authorities. Professional and timely legal counsel is critical in such situations.
