Deep Knowledge in a Broad Range of Manufacturing and Distribution Legal Issues

Phillips Lytle understands the broad array of legal issues confronting manufacturers today. We recognize that manufacturers must contend not only with the same legal issues faced by other organizations, but must also learn to manage the many unique legal matters that can profoundly impact the way in which they conduct business. Our Manufacturing and Distribution Team routinely assists clients in areas such as corporate, litigation, employee benefits, labor and employment and more.

Our clients include small, local manufacturers and startups, as well as some of the largest manufacturing companies in the world. Our attorneys work directly with company officers and other professionals to maximize efficiencies in the delivery of legal services.

We provide support to our clients across a wide range of areas. We assist manufacturers with matters that include:

  • Commercial sales contracts and service agreements
  • Health, safety and environmental
  • Protection of intellectual property
  • Transportation and logistics
  • Sales representation
  • Distributors and resellers
  • Subcontracting
  • Exporting and importing
  • Government contracting
  • Strategic sourcing and procurement
  • Managing the RFP process
  • Outsourcing
  • Strategic partnerships
  • Contract administration

Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) Incentives Programs

Phillips Lytle assists manufacturers—both domestic and foreign—with navigating the rapidly changing criteria to obtain, or strategically benefit from, the Inflation Reduction Act’s (IRA) tax, loan and grant incentives. We work alongside our clients to maximize their benefit by ensuring compliance with the IRA’s complex requirements, including heightened labor and production reporting standards. We also advise foreign manufacturers and suppliers on reshoring operations and compliance with IRA requirements for not only their benefit, but for their customers’ benefit as well.
