Serving Retail Clients, Both Large and Small

The Klinedinst Retail practice group is comprised of attorneys from multiple practice areas, assembled to meet the diverse needs of major retailers, grocery chains, and public storefronts.

The Retail Defense attorneys at Klinedinst help clients face challenges in an ever-changing regulatory environment. From compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act statutes, to state and local employment regulations, the team at Klinedinst helps retail clients stay ahead of the regulatory curve. Klinedinst also helps retailers with legal issues arising from labor relations, including collective bargaining agreements and work stoppages.

Today's retailers face significant exposure with personal injury and tort litigation. Klinedinst works with retailers and their carriers to defend "slip and fall" suits, as well as other premises liability and injury claims.

Klinedinst's Retail Defense group also helps defend retailers against false imprisonment claims, arising primarily out of shoplifting. The retail group also handles claims of abuse made by disruptive customers seeking remuneration.

Retailers that carry thousands of products frequently find themselves subject to product liability. Recent examples of product liability litigation include suits brought against retailers that carried ephedra-based supplements, as well as defective stroller and toy products that were eventually subject to recall.

Klinedinst is headquartered in California, one of the most populated retail regions in the country. Klinedinst's Retail Defense group has worked with a wide range of clients, from small business to Fortune 100 companies. For clients looking for broad experience in a wide range of backgrounds, the Retail Defense group at Klinedinst has much to offer.
