Description
Behind the glitter, lights and runway, the global fashion industry has its challenges. Whether its ESG, privacy and data, equity, geopolitics or local politics, woke-ism, employee welfare, anti-trust, business models, need for capital, inflation, supply chain reshuffling—there is a lot keep General Counsels in this industry awake. There is hardly a jurisdiction or region of the world that has not kicked into high gear enacting new regulation and enforcing old regulations for environmental protections, consumer rights, global trade, product safety, marketing, labor laws and human rights at a time when customers are dialing back their spending and capital is increasingly constrained. How are GC’s addressing these issues and how are law firm helping companies meet these numerous challenges?
