Risk Ready: Business Restructuring – Key issues impacting the retail industry
from Smarter Lawcast with Hall & Wilcox Hosted by Hall & Wilcox
Partners Nicole Tumiati and Jacqui Barrett discuss how the challenging economic environment is impacting on the retail industry. Cost of living and high interest rates mean consumers are cutting back on discretionary spend, while retailers are trying to manage high operational costs, such as supplier contracts, leases, insurance, cyber risk, supply chain issues and retail crime. Nicole and Jacqui outline how retailers can manage these impacts by being innovative and resourceful, such as re-examining contracts with suppliers, pivoting into online offerings, managing stock levels better, streamlining the business if there are multiple streams, or buying complementary businesses to secure supply chains.
