Business know-how to carry you through the coming seasons

Our seminar this year will shine the spotlight on the challenges facing a growing business, how to protect your market position and brand, what you can do to stop infringers, and a look at inspirational business growth in the fashion world.

We also welcome Gareth Coombs from the Cambridge Strategy Centre who will answer the question of whether Real Madrid could ever afford Victoria Beckham and Hanna Marie Hutchison of HMH Couture who will walk us down the exciting yet challenging road from setting up her own business to dressing stars for the red carpet.

Our panel of experts at this year’s Fashion Law seminar will address:

Why Real Madrid could not afford Victoria Beckham
The challenge of leadership in growing fashion businesses and why size may not matter.

Catch them if you can – how to protect your brand from infringements

Employees behaving badly – how to protect your brand

protect their position and their brand.
