Sam Sawyer - Head of Legal

I joined Premier Foods as the Head of Legal in November 2019.  I manage the day to day running of the legal team and deal with a wide range of issues that come across the legal team's desks. This includes advising on commercial contracts, intellectual property and data protection issues, health and safety matters, consumer law, marketing and transactional work both in the UK and internationally. I also manage the relationships with our external law firms. 

What I enjoy about Premier Foods is the fast pace and variety of the work, which means that no two days are ever the same and there is never a dull moment!
