Product Safety and Product Liability

For your company, product safety is certainly not merely a necessary obligation, but an integral part of your identity. In Germany in particular, quality is often taken for granted, with comprehensive rules and regulations helping to ensure compliance and minimise potential sources of error.

Whenever significant product defects occur, they are a serious matter – both from a legal perspective and in terms of corporate communications. A careful and considered approach is the most important first step in preventing more serious consequences.

I advise you on all legal matters relating to the manufacture and supply of your products, whether you are a start-up or an international corporation.

As a lawyer specialising in healthcare law, my particular expertise naturally lies in food products, medical devices, medicinal products and cosmetics.

Would you like to ensure that you are fully protected when it comes to product liability? Ideally, we should identify and assess any potential liability risks together before your product even enters the market.
