Jones Day lawyers have extensive experience in the consumer products & retail industry, spanning such sectors as apparel, consumer electronics, cosmetics and personal care products, food & beverage, grocery, drug and department stores, furniture and fixtures, and housewares and household appliances. Many of the largest merger and acquisition transactions and corporate reorganizations in history have involved retail chains and/or consumer product manufacturers. Transformation of this industry will undoubtedly continue as a result of, among other factors, transitioning and emerging global markets, rising labor and material costs, new regulatory requirements, evolving technologies and ever-changing consumer demand.
Our team brings together professionals from numerous legal disciplines to provide the specialized and comprehensive services our clients require to meet the challenges this evolution presents. For example, intellectual property lawyers throughout the Firm are experienced in dealing with the unique trademark, patent, trade secret, counterfeiting, and other intellectual property issues that inevitably arise in these industry transactions, as well as RFID and other evolving technologies. Similarly, our restructuring & reorganization professionals have a wealth of experience advising major retailers as well as suppliers, vendors, landlords, banks, creditors' committees and other clients in connection with retail restructurings.
Our product liability lawyers advise and defend manufacturers of a variety of consumer products, including pharmaceuticals and medical devices, tobacco, guns, and lead paint. Lawyers providing labor & employment services regularly counsel and represent management in all types of personnel-related matters, including employment discrimination cases; wrongful discharge and other common-law employment litigation; and traditional labor relations including collective bargaining and strike and strike-related matters. Our property & environmental lawyers in the U.S., U.K., and European markets have been integrally involved in several of the largest retail property portfolio acquisitions and financings in the history of their respective markets.
