Pannone Corporate has strengthened its position in the retail sector, after recently being appointed by Costcutter and The Fragrance Shop. The North West law firm has also been reappointed to the BooHoo Group legal panel.

Paul Jonson, senior partner at Pannone Corporate, said: “Retail is a vast, dynamic and ever-changing sector and one that has formed a core part of our growth strategy in recent years. Across a range of teams and specialisms we have built up strong sector credentials over recent years and we’re delighted to be extending that retail footprint through our work with prominent brands, such as Costcutter and The Fragrance Shop.

“Our reappointment to the BooHoo legal panel is also testament to the hard work and sector expertise that the team has shown over the last 15 years, in supporting the global fashion brand on an impressive growth journey since it started trading.

“We look forward to working alongside our new clients and also our many longstanding retail clients, as they expand their presence in the UK and overseas, whether that’s through bricks and mortar growth, or by capitalising on the continued rise of ecommerce.”

Pannone Corporate works alongside a growing list of retail and wholesale businesses including Bestway and Iceland.
