Our expertise in the manufacturing sector
We are seeing more and more mergers between chemical companies, in a bid to remain competitive. They are familiar with Houthoff’s extensive international M&A expertise and engage our specialists for assistance and advice. When environmental due diligence services are also required, our Manufacturing Team works closely with our health, safety & environment specialists.
Large manufacturers are regularly involved in damages actions relating to alleged cartel formation and often major interests are at stake. This requires practical and well-considered advice. Our experienced litigators represent large manufacturers in legal proceedings.
Our Manufacturing Team has an international focus, which is essential for the manufacturing industry. Emerging economies like Asia, Latin America and Africa, and opportunities to outsource parts of production to low-wage countries necessitate a broader perspective. Together with our specialists in environmental law, intellectual property law, product liability, outsourcing and tax matters, the Manufacturing Team helps our clients move forward.
