Who We Can Help
We work with businesses across the interior design and homeware ecosystem, supporting them at different stages of their journey and across different roles within the supply chain. Whether you are launching, scaling or operating at an established level, our advice is shaped around how your business works in practice.
Where do you belong?
-
Interior designers operate at the centre of complex projects, balancing client expectations, suppliers, contractors and tight deadlines.
We can support interior designers with clear, practical advice on client contracts, supplier terms, scope changes and liability risks. This includes helping you protect your fees, manage project variations, comply with building and safety regulations, and reduce disputes when projects evolve or budgets shift.
-
Manufacturers face risk at every stage – from sourcing materials and managing production, to hiring and maintaining office and industrial space, to looking after personnel and manufacturing workforce through to distribution, regulatory compliance and risks to their brand and reputation.
Whether you upholster or manufacture hardwood furniture, soft furnishings or items of lighting and home décor, we can advise you on supplier and procurement contracts, matters of international trade, quality and specification issues, insurance and regulatory compliance (including on materials sourcing, packaging and consumer responsibilities).
We can also advise with respect to projects, such as raising equity or debt finance, whether you are looking to manage your cashflow or have expansion plans.
-
We can support wholesalers and retailers with procurement agreements, terms of sale, consumer law compliance, advertising rules and product claims, and dispute management.
Our advice helps you trade confidently while minimising legal and reputational risk, including guidance on data protection, product safety standards, and FCA consumer credit requirements where finance is offered.
-
Warehousing and storage businesses carry significant responsibility for goods that are not their own – and that risk is often underestimated.
We can ensure that your risks are adequately covered. In addition, we can cover the majority of your “business as usual” legal needs, as well as your special projects, such as acquisitions of businesses of assets, raising debt or equity capital or achieving an exit.
-
Transport and logistics providers operate under time pressure, complex contractual chains and heightened exposure to loss, delay and liability claims.
We advise logistics and transportation businesses on the adequate risk allocation, the setting up of contractual frameworks, liability management and dispute prevention.
