Manufacturing

In the manufacturing sector, everything must be coordinated: procurement, production, quality, planning and delivery. A single delayed delivery, a non-conforming product or an unclear agreement can have immediate consequences for your entire process.

That is precisely why it is important that agreements with suppliers, customers and business partners are clearly set out. Not only regarding price and delivery, but also regarding quality, specifications, liability and what happens if things do not go to plan.

Many legal questions only arise when the pressure mounts. A delivery arrives late, a product fails to meet the agreed requirements, or the parties disagree over who is responsible for damage or delays. At such times, you want to know quickly where you stand and what steps are advisable.

Clarity is also needed in product development, innovation or collaboration within the supply chain. Who owns a design or application? Who is permitted to use what knowledge? And how do you prevent flexibility in the collaboration from leading to disputes later on? Within your own organisation, issues such as staff, safety, working conditions, growth and changes to the production process also come into play. Here too, legal decisions can influence day-to-day operations.
