Manufacturing

Manufacturing operations require careful navigation of regulatory requirements before becoming operational.

We assist clients in obtaining the necessary permits, licenses, and registrations, while ensuring that all procedures are properly sequenced and aligned with the project timeline. This includes support in areas such as environmental compliance, waste management systems, and sector-specific requirements, particularly relevant in industries such as food production.

At the same time, we support customs and import structures, ensuring that the business is properly positioned to import machinery and raw materials, including coordination with customs agents and alignment with VAT requirements.

A key aspect of manufacturing projects is ensuring that the required infrastructure is in place.

We support clients in coordinating access to electricity capacity, water supply, wastewater systems, and other essential utilities, as well as internet connectivity and operational infrastructure. These elements are critical for industrial operations and must be aligned early in the process to avoid delays or technical constraints.

Our involvement often includes coordination between landlords, utility providers, contractors, and public authorities, ensuring that all parallel workstreams are aligned and executed efficiently.

Manufacturing businesses depend on a stable and compliant workforce structure.

We assist clients in drafting employment agreements, internal rulebooks, and labor law frameworks, as well as supporting hiring processes and onboarding. This includes ensuring compliance with local employment regulations, social contributions, and occupational health and safety requirements.

Our approach is to align legal structuring with the practical realities of managing a production workforce.

Beyond the core facility, manufacturing operations rely on a network of suppliers and service providers.

We support clients in structuring relationships with suppliers, logistics providers, maintenance services, and other operational partners, ensuring that contractual frameworks reflect the needs of production and distribution. This includes coordination of import logistics, warehousing, and day-to-day operational support services required for a functioning production environment.

Manufacturing businesses evolve over time — expanding capacity, optimizing operations, or entering new markets.

We provide ongoing legal support throughout these phases, including assistance with operational scaling, restructuring, and adaptation to regulatory changes. We also support clients in transactional matters, including due diligence and structuring of acquisitions or potential sale of operations.
