Fashion Law

Legal Support Tailored for the Fashion Industry

With firsthand experience as former Business Affairs Counsel at BCBG, I bring a deep understanding of the legal challenges and opportunities in the fashion world. I offer a full range of fashion law services for emerging designers, established brands, and fashion-focused startups looking to build, protect, and scale their businesses.

What Is Fashion Law?

Fashion law is a specialized area of law that addresses the unique needs of the fashion industry. It spans multiple legal disciplines, including:

  • Intellectual Property (trademarks, copyrights, trade dress, licensing)
  • Business & Corporate Law
  • Employment Law
  • Internet & E-commerce Law
  • Customs and International Trade (import/export issues)

Whether you're launching a label, building an e-commerce brand, or designing for a major retailer, fashion law helps protect your creations and streamline your business operations.

Why Work with a Fashion Lawyer?

If you're navigating contracts, structuring a new company, or looking to protect your brand and designs, a fashion lawyer can help you make informed decisions and avoid costly mistakes.

From choosing legally sound brand names to securing ownership of designs and artwork, I help clients protect their ideas, streamline their operations, and position their business for long-term growth.
