Retail & Luxury Brands
Dispute-led support for supply chains, networks and brand protection
Retail and luxury disputes commonly combine contractual leverage, reputational risk and the need for urgent remedies. Supply-chain disputes can be fast-moving and financially material. Franchise and distribution breakdowns require decisive governance and evidence control. Brand protection often requires coordinated enforcement across platforms and borders.
We act for retailers, luxury groups, distributors, franchise networks and suppliers in supply-chain litigation, network disputes and IP/brand protection actions.
Our expertise in retail and luxury brands
Supplier and distribution disputes
We act in disputes involving:
- RTVs, testing failures and quality thresholds
- Unpaid invoices, deductions, set-off disputes and reconciliation issues
- Delivery failures, packaging/labelling disputes and chargebacks
- Stock-file discrepancies and shrinkage/write-off disputes
- Seasonality, allocation and stock-turn disputes
We analyse contracts, trading terms and commercial practices to determine liability, pursue recovery of losses and, where appropriate, preserve commercially important relationships.
Franchise and network litigation
We advise on:
- Misrepresentation claims and disclosure disputes
- Territory encroachment and exclusivity breaches
- Termination disputes and enforcement of system standards
- Royalties, margin support and central purchasing disputes
- Urgent injunctions to prevent off-system trading and protect brand assets
How we work with retail and luxury clients
- Speed and control: urgent remedies where brand or network integrity is threatened
- Commercial leverage: disputes handled with awareness of ongoing trading realities
- Cross-border coordination: enforcement and supply chain disputes across jurisdictions
- Reputation discipline: litigation strategy aligned to stakeholder exposure
