Fashion & Design

Fashion and design businesses operate in a uniquely competitive and fast-paced environment, balancing creativity with complex commercial and regulatory challenges. We support designers, fashion houses, retailers and global brands throughout the lifecycle of their collections and collaborations, providing advice that protects creative work and supports commercial growth.

Intellectual property protection is central to our work in this sector. We help clients safeguard trade marks, copyright, design rights and other core brand assets, advising on strategies to address infringement, counterfeiting and brand dilution. 

Collaboration is integral to the industry, and we advise on partnerships between designers, brands, influencers, retailers and manufacturers. These arrangements require careful structuring to balance creative freedom, commercial benefit and reputational security. Our advice spans licensing, endorsements, distribution agreements and co-branded campaigns.
