Regulated Practice

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.
