The Industrials Practice at Wilbury Partners focuses on Chemicals, Manufacturing, Engineering, Transport and Aerospace and Defence

Companies across the sector may face different challenges, but there are common themes which affect all of them. 

Increased industry standards on a global basis, compliance with health and safety regulations, and a complex supply chain are just a handful of challenges facing the industrials industry. There are a wide range of legal issues, including employment law, which are of particular concern in such a tough economic climate.

Risks need to be identified early on to minimise loss and ensure the smooth running of a company. Organisations need to meet short term objectives as well as work towards long term value for the business.

A strong and successfully implemented governance framework is critical for long term value but this can only be done with expert leadership. The industry requires expert legal and governance professionals to drive regulations and frameworks, ensuring companies are ahead of the game.

Recent assignments include:

• Senior Competition Lawyer: Power, Transport & Energy company
• Head of Regulation & Risk: Manufacturing company
• Director of Safety & Operational Risk: Engineering company
