Consumer Products & Retail
Bass, Berry & Sims advises consumer products and retail companies in successfully navigating the rapidly evolving business and legal landscapes. Issues that were practically non-existent a decade ago—such as global digital accessibility, consumer health and safety, limitless points-of-sale, and consumer data privacy—are today top-of-mind with corporate leaders and the purchasing public.
For the last century, we have helped businesses protect their capital investments and consumer goodwill during thriving economic times as well as in economic downturns. More than 70 of the firm’s attorneys combine their considerable experience in areas such as intellectual property, cybersecurity, data privacy, labor and employment, private equity, mergers and acquisitions, public company advisory, finance and securities, litigation, and real estate to deliver real life solutions based on the dynamic needs of our clients. Our attorneys maintain comprehensive knowledge in these areas and deliver an outstanding level of legal representation to help businesses thrive.
