Retail and Consumer Products
Strategic legal and business advice for every facet of the retail ecosystem, built on the backbone of our regulatory prowess.
While the ability for a consumer to complete a purchase transaction has never been simpler, the ecosystem responsible for curating the customer experience and delivering product has never been more complex. As a result, members of the retail ecosystem operate at a dizzying speed, with a constant focus on the future. As lawyers and business advisors to this industry, we can only be effective if we embrace this pace and meet our clients’ needs head-on, in real time.
Built on the backbone of our nationally renowned regulatory group, Crowell & Moring’s Retail and Consumer Products Law Group understands the full scope of challenges and opportunities presented to retailers, consumer products companies, and brand owners. Our clients depend on us to provide legal guidance that meets their strategic objectives. This business-focused approach is woven into the fabric of our group and enables us to act quickly, be decisive, and deliver practical, actionable advice.
