Manufacturing and Logistics Enterprises
For a manufacturer or logistics operator, a legal problem is usually an operational one: a delayed shipment, a rejected consignment, a licence that lapses, a supplier that fails, a system that goes down. We work from the operation outwards, so contracts, compliance and disputes reflect how goods actually move.
Manufacturers
Supplier and customer contracts, licences, safety and environmental compliance, and workforce arrangements.
Exporters and importers
Customs, trade compliance, letters of credit, incoterms and payment protection.
Logistics, transport and warehousing operators
Carriage terms, liability limits, cargo claims, insurance and contractor arrangements.
Suppliers and distributors
Distribution, agency and long-term supply agreements, and disputes with buyers or principals.
Roadmap
From factory floor to delivery, covered.
We follow the goods through the chain and put the legal protections where the risk sits.

Where we come in
Five weak points we often see.
Each looks routine until the shipment, the audit or the outage arrives.
Standard-form terms nobody negotiated
Carriers, suppliers and customers often send terms that cap liability far below your real loss. Read them before you sign.
No plan for a supplier failure
One sole-source component or carrier can stop production. Contracts and alternatives should be ready before it happens.
Compliance kept in one person's head
Licences, returns and inspections lapse when that person leaves. A calendar and owners are basic protection.
Uninsured or under-insured cargo
Statutory carrier liability is limited. Without proper insurance, a serious loss can fall on you.
Cyber risk treated as an IT matter
A ransomware attack on production or warehouse systems is a business-continuity event. Plan and rehearse it.
Supply chain under strain?
Contract, cargo or compliance problem? Call for a free first consultation.
Tell us what is stuck and where, and we will tell you what to do first. Calls are answered by an advocate.
Why industry chooses us
Operational, not academic.
Retain us for a single matter or for the long run. Either way you deal with the same accountable team.
Understands the operation
We ask how goods move and where they stop, then draft and advise around that.
Contracts, compliance and disputes together
One team covers the agreement, the regulator and the dispute, so advice stays consistent.
Cyber-aware
Our security team helps protect plants and logistics systems, and the legal response if they are attacked.

Questions
Common questions.
General information only, not legal advice. Every situation differs, so speak to us about yours.
What licences does a manufacturing unit need?
It depends on the industry, location and scale. Common requirements include factory licensing, pollution-control consents, fire and safety clearances, and registrations under labour and tax laws.
We prepare a checklist for your unit and help with applications.
Who is liable if goods are lost or damaged in transit?
It depends on the contract, the mode of transport and the applicable law. Carriers' liability is often limited by statute or by their terms, so insurance matters.
We review carriage terms and help pursue claims.
Can we limit our liability to customers?
Often, within limits. Liability caps and exclusions are common in commercial contracts, but courts consider their wording and reasonableness, and some liabilities cannot be excluded.
We draft and negotiate these terms.
What should an export contract cover?
Product specifications, price and currency, incoterms, payment security such as letters of credit, delivery and inspection, governing law and dispute resolution.
We prepare and review export and import contracts.
How do we handle contract labour compliance?
Principal employers can have obligations for contractors' workers, including registration, wages and safety, and can be liable for contractor defaults in some cases.
We review contractor arrangements and compliance.
Can a cyber attack be a force majeure event?
It depends on the clause. Many force majeure clauses do not clearly cover cyber events, and courts look at whether the event was truly beyond your control.
We review your clauses and your resilience plans.
How much does this cost?
Contracts and compliance reviews are available at fixed fees, and disputes are scoped after we see the papers. Ongoing support can run through SIRI Shield.
Fees are agreed in writing before work starts.
