An appreciation for the value of luxury brands.
The luxury goods market is growing rapidly with premium brands in areas such as perfumes, apparel, accessories and boutique alcohols seeing strong growth and consistently defying market down-turns. It is little surprise that at the highest end of the retail market new luxury brands are emerging to challenge established brands’ dominance and status quo. Utilising technology to redefine how they engage and interact with customers, and with the agility to evolve and adapt to market trends, these brands, both global and smaller independent enterprises, are more popular than ever.
As the owner of or a senior decision maker at a luxury brand, you may need guidance at times on how best to maximise the value of your unique assets to drive your business forward. Whether you are an established brand or an entrepreneurial start-up, you should work alongside a legal team with a clear understanding of the market and the expertise to advise you every step of the way as your grow your business.
Our multi-disciplinary team has considerable experience advising luxury brands based in the UK and internationally on all aspects of their business affairs. This may cover establishing and protecting intellectual property rights, restructuring the business, drawing up commercial agreements, tackling employment issues, dealing with property transactions or resolving any disputes which may arise.
Our team invests time in gaining a full understanding of your unique requirements and long-term strategy. We are then able to provide proactive and tailored advice on all of your commercial needs, using our in-depth knowledge of your business and the market to guide you through the entire lifecycle, from inception, through growth and expansion, to sale or exit.
