Retail

About

Provided by Fox Williams LLP

For over 15 years we have focussed on advising the fashion industry – a key player on the High Street and the online channel. 

Our lawyers advising our retail clients are drawn from across Fox Williams’ commercial, IP, corporate, employment, real estate and travel teams, as well as litigators. We have established www.fashionlaw.co.uk which sets out what we do, shows some of the fashion clients for whom we act, and provides a wealth of information for those engaged in retail. 

Members of our team regularly speak at events held by the UK Fashion and Textile Association and are asked to comment on specific fashion related issues in the industry magazine, Drapers, as well as by The Business of Fashion and Childrenswear Buyer.

Much of our work involves advising on commercial contracts and IP issues affecting our clients. In addition, our real estate lawyers have developed a niche in advising on the leases of a number of high profile restaurants where we acted on a number of leasehold matters for restaurateurs in relation to new sites. 

Fox Williams’ IP lawyers are known for their work in the wider retail sector. The team is experienced, approachable, pragmatic, “normal”, and has deep industry expertise. We know from client feedback that these traits are equally appreciated by small clients and large clients alike.
