Product compliance

This often presents companies wishing to launch new, innovative products with the challenge of first identifying all applicable legal acts and the legal obligations arising from them.

In order to ensure product compliance within their companies, start-ups, private label manufacturers and online retailers often still need to establish the necessary structures. In addition, new legislation is being introduced at ever shorter intervals, for example in the areas of artificial intelligence, IT security and data protection, and ecodesign.

We work with our clients to design and establish corporate structures that ensure product compliance. We pay close attention to the interfaces between the legal department, compliance, sustainability, R&D, production, EHS, quality, purchasing, sales and IT, also with regard to the personal responsibility and liability of managers. Another special feature of our firm is our advice on circular business models for implementing so-called R strategies (reuse, repair, refurbishment, remanufacturing, recycling, etc.), which enable the reuse of products – for example in the automotive, mechanical engineering, medical devices and high-end electronics sectors – with a view to waste prevention. Our outstanding expertise in the field of circular economy is of particular benefit to our clients in this regard.
