Retail

At Berngaard, we have extensive experience assisting stakeholders across the trade sector – from manufacturers and importers to retailers, agents and franchisors. Through this work, we have developed an in-depth knowledge of the legal and commercial challenges that characterise the trade and service industry.

Our lawyers provide comprehensive legal and strategic advice at every stage of your business journey – from establishment and early growth through to expansion and long-term development. We take care to understand your business and objectives, so that our advice is grounded in your commercial reality.

We assist with choosing the appropriate company structure in start-up and growth phases, and with establishing agreements that form the basis for durable commercial relationships.

Our employment law advice is tailored to the needs of the sector, supporting sound and compliant workforce management that balances the interests of both employer and employee.

We also assist with the protection of trademarks and intellectual property rights to preserve brand value and competitiveness, and advise on compliance with relevant legal frameworks – including marketing regulations and the Transparency Act's requirements on supply chain due diligence.

With deep sector insight and advice tailored to your business, Berngaard will help you build a solid foundation for operations that are profitable, predictable and built to last.
