    Manufacturing

    New innovations are shaping the manufacturing industry, as are increased regulatory risk. We help clients around the globe navigate a complex web of laws and economic controls, ensuring their license to operate—and innovate.

    /Overview

    The manufacturing industry is rapidly evolving, as new technologies and innovations drive shorter, simpler supply chains and shrink product development cycles. Manufacturers also need to navigate the complexity of export controls, economic sanctions, and other regulatory hurdles from governments around the globe. Nixon Peabody has a deep bench of attorneys with extensive experience in M&A, corporate transactions, cybersecurity, IP, export controls, and economic sanctions—whatever the issue you face, we have the skilled practitioners and resources to help you solve it.

    Our clients are as varied as the industry. We’ve worked with a Japanese Fortune 500 company specializing in machinery and chemical productions in its VC investments in the US. We managed the M&A activity for a leading supplier of materials for military and aerospace applications. And we’ve counseled a leading manufacturer of products that conserve energy in patent and trademark cases. Wherever you operate in the world, Nixon Peabody team is there for you.
