The DLA Piper Consumer Goods, Food and Retail Sector Training Series - The Consumer Goods, Food and Retail Sector is experiencing significant change as consumers evolve the way in which they choose to shop and how they choose to spend their money.
DLA Piper’s lawyers have produced a series of webinars on key issues that are prevalent to those in the sector. Each session is a maximum of 30 minutes and aims to provide a snapshot of the key issues consumer goods, food & beverage and retail & fashion businesses need to consider going forward. They are all free to download.
Whitepaper: Retail in a post-pandemic world - DLA Piper partnered with GlobalData to produce this paper which looks at how dramatically the world has altered and how consumer businesses have stepped up to meet these challenges, flexing online and other channels and overcoming supply chain obstacles, while also considering what this could mean for the future of retail and consumer-focused businesses.
As part of this paper, DLA Piper and GlobalData interviewed four companies (Levi Strauss & Co., Heineken, an online pureplay company and an alcohol brand) about their experiences during the pandemic. Selected quotes from these case studies are included throughout this paper.
