Product Counseling & Risk Management

See All Services Meet The Team

Overview

We want to help you take products from development to market while minimizing risk and claims. As you develop new products, we advise on pre-launch requirements and review labels, warnings, instructions, warranties and marketing practices while keeping in mind government regulations, industry standards and emerging liability theories. To prepare for potential claims, we train your employees and develop effective prevention or crisis communication programs that can serve as the first line of defense in potential product liability cases. We interface with agencies such as the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and European and Asian counterparts as we guide you efficiently through regulatory compliance. Likewise, we advise on supply chain management best practices to properly align responsibility for product issues. We handle data privacy or transfer issues and interface with other departments to assess trade secret, regulatory, intellectual property or global business risks. We immerse ourselves in your business, walking production lines, examining quality control procedures and staying on top of compliance standards to benefit you.
