Fashion Law
The fashion industry enables you to thrive on your innovations and originality.
Yet, this same industry can also be stifling unless you form the proper corporate entity, raise capital efficiently (within federal and state regulations), build value in your trademark, and sign only beneficial contracts.
Often, new designers are eager to jump into the first opportunity presented, regardless of how beneficial that agreement might actually be.
Fashion law clients should turn to an experienced lawyer who can address following needs:
- Represent you as an individual or corporation, generally;
- Represent you before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board;
- Execute a variety of financing options;
- Register, maintain, enforce, and protect your trademarks, trade secrets, copyrights, and other intellectual property;
- Counsel on branding;
- Negotiate and generate manufacturing, licensing, franchising, and other contracts.
