Explaining beauty, luxury goods, and fashion law

This industry covers a variety of legal disciplines. Advertisement law, business law, intellectual property law, international commercial law, and contract law are just some of the legal branches that those in the fashion world must consider. Avoiding fashion lawsuits should be a priority for all working in the fashion sector, from fashion designers to brand owners.

With the rise of e-commerce sites and online shopping, the chances of counterfeit sales has risen significantly in the last few years. Global counterfeit sales caused a dizzying loss of profits in the last few years. No one wants their fashion brand to diminish in value – it can take a huge knock to business..

Copyright

With the rise of e-commerce and fast fashion online brands, there has been a boom in the range of designs that customers are buying. Maintaining originality and recognisability has never needed such attention and consideration.

Our team can offer this intellectual property support – whether you need to establish a copyright or register a design at the beginning, or if you need legal support if someone does rip you off, we want to help.

Beauty

When it comes to the beauty industry, similar legal problems arise as with fashion, but there are a few more to throw into the mix. If you own a beauty company, you will be aware of the health and safety responsibilities. Regulations that protect human health are really important, and if someone accuses you of falling short of standards it can do huge damage to your reputation.

If you believe you have been unfairly accused of falling short of the law, or that a specific accusation is doing undue damage to your brand reputation, our professionals can support you through mediation, dispute resolution, and, if necessary, litigation proceedings.
