We have many years’ experience as specialist wine trade lawyers, acting for many different types of businesses and organisations involved in the trade.
Wine Producers and Producers’ Associations
We have worked with wine producer clients from countries all around the world, including Argentina, Australia, Chile, France, Italy, New Zealand, Portugal, South Africa, Spain and the USA. We have also acted for producers’ associations in various parts of the world. For example, we represented the Winemakers Federation of Australia in Lonsdale v Howard & Hallam, the landmark House of Lords case which clarified how compensation for commercial agents should be assessed in the UK.

UK Wine Importers
We also act for UK importers – whether they act as agents or distributors, or both – of all shapes and sizes, from some of the biggest and best-known players in the UK trade to small one-man band agencies.

Not coming from a legal background, I found this invaluable.”
