Davis+Gilbert's cross-departmental and multidisciplinary retail industry group reaches all corners of the industry. Perhaps best known for our retail leasing practice, we are regularly called upon for counsel in the negotiation of leases for flagship, "street" and other store locations for some of the world's most recognized retail and fashion brands - including Godiva, Polo Ralph Lauren, Williams-Sonoma, West Elm, Pottery Barn and Ross Stores, to name a few. We also handled the rollouts of several well-known restaurant and cosmetic chains. Our work extends to assisting international clients in lease negotiations in various parts of the world, with recent representations for retailers and fashion brands with leases located in South America and Europe. We are also well-known for representing retailers on the myriad legal issues encountered when selling, marketing and promoting their products, including regulatory, intellectual property and privacy issues in addition to other areas of the law involving social media, native advertising, price advertising and right of publicity. Clients know us for our ability to provide quick, practical answers to new and often high-profile issues, from parameters for use of celebrities in social media to litigation and regulatory actions. Our intellectual property and trademark lawyers also regularly represent prominent retailers on all IP issues, from trademark portfolio management to asserting and defending copyright disputes.
