Manufacturing

For manufacturers of all sizes, Hesketh Henry provides one-stop-shop legal services.

Our expertise includes assistance with commercial contracts and supply agreements, insurance, logistics and transport, and legal matters related to construction and property. We can also help you with due diligence and documentation when buying or selling a business, as well as the complex arrangements that often come with leasing premises for your business.

If your business is involved with developing new brands and products, our IP experts can help you to identify and protect your intellectual property, including trademarks. Our specialised senior employment lawyers can assist with employment agreements, employee relationship challenges, collective bargaining and union issues, unfair dismissal and harassment problems, and performance management processes. They can also help during times of change, when company-wide restructuring is necessary.

Litigation related to manufacturing is another Hesketh Henry strength. If your company becomes involved with any kind of dispute or legal action, including those related to health and safety, our law firm can help you to achieve the best possible outcome.

Interest from regulators such as the Commerce Commission can have significant effects on manufacturing businesses, whether in relation to contractual terms, advertising, or product recall issues. We can help guide you through this process –it is critical that this regulatory legal advice is sought at an early stage.
