Career
Katie is a partner specialising in regulatory compliance and risk particularly in the fields of food law, product safety, health and safety and consumer protection. She advises businesses who need to understand the regulatory framework, require an interpretation on the correct application of the law or who are being challenged by a regulator for not meeting regulatory requirements.
Businesses come to her when they need help on the composition, labelling or packaging of a product and often when they are seeking to launch into new markets. She regularly manages multi-jurisdictional compliance projects.
Katie has a developed food law practice advising on labelling, health and nutrition claims, additives v processing aids, novel foods, supplements and foods for specific groups. She advises on FMCG including cosmetics, detergents and apparel, and products requiring CE-marking and increasingly on connected products including additive manufacturing and wearable technology.
Her product safety practice complements her international health and safety practice, where she advise businesses on health and safety compliance and regularly support clients through a crisis situation and any investigation or enforcement action by a regulator.
