Overview

Protecting fashion brands, designs and creative businesses

In fashion, a name, a print, or a silhouette can be worth more than the fabric it appears on. But ideas are easily copied, and a single dispute with a manufacturer, retailer, or influencer can hurt a growing label. Fashion law brings together brand protection, contracts, and business advice, so designers and fashion businesses can create and grow with confidence. Our advocates work with designers, boutiques, manufacturers, retailers, and online sellers.

Protecting Your Brand and Designs

  • Trademark registration: Securing your label name, logo, and tagline
  • Design and copyright protection: Protecting original prints, patterns, sketches, and collections
  • Action against copying and counterfeits: Notices, court action, and enforcement against knock-offs
  • Online marketplace takedowns: Removing fake or copied products from e-commerce platforms and social media
  • Brand disputes: Defending you if another brand claims your name or design is too similar

Contracts and Business Agreements

  • Designer and manufacturer agreements: Clear terms on production, quality, delivery, and payment
  • Licensing and collaborations: Agreements for brand tie-ups and use of your designs
  • Franchise and distribution: Structuring and documenting expansion
  • Retail, store, and lease agreements: Protecting your interests in physical and online sales
  • Employment and freelance contracts: Agreements with staff, models, photographers, and stylists

Marketing and Influencers

  • Influencer and endorsement contracts: Clear terms on payment, content, and usage rights
  • Advertising compliance: Guidance on claims, disclosures, and misleading promotion
  • Sustainability and product claims: Helping you avoid legal risk in what you say about your products

Business and Dispute Support

  • Payment and supply disputes: Recovery of dues and resolution of contract breaches
  • Company setup and structuring: Advising on the right structure for your fashion business
  • Litigation and settlement: Representation before courts and forums when disputes cannot be settled

Our Approach

We understand that fashion moves fast. We give practical, business-friendly advice, protect your creative work early, and keep every agreement clear and enforceable. Everything you share stays strictly confidential.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I protect my fashion designs?

Yes. Depending on the work, protection may be available through design registration, copyright, and trademark.

Should I register my brand name?

Yes. Registration gives you stronger rights and makes it easier to act against copycats.

What can I do if someone copies my collection?

You can send a legal notice, seek takedowns, and, if needed, file a court case. Acting early matters.

Do influencer collaborations need a written contract?

Yes. A contract avoids disputes about payment, content approval, and how the content can be used.
