LEGAL

We have opportunities to grow in big and bold ways, and our Legal team is at the forefront of helping us to capitalize on them. We enable the business to compete globally, while complying with legal requirements and standards of ethical conduct. In addition to risk management and mitigation, we facilitate strategic transactions and business contracts. Put simply, our work protects our company, our brands and our people.

Legal is a globally connected community. Operating through Centers of Expertise (COEs), we provide advice and share knowledge across the entire organization.

We complement our service model with local teams to meet the needs of individual commercial units. This enables us to strike the right balance between corporate direction, front-line performance and practice area expertise.
