Retail 

We have worked with this international retail icon to help develop its international strategy. This involved advising upon the most appropriate structures, identifying target markets, securing worldwide protection for the brand and introducing the business’s first international developer to the client. We have also assisted Hamleys with the enforcement of the terms of its agreement to ensure the retailers rights are not diluted.

We have worked with Crocs protecting its designs and trade marks against infringers and grey importers across Europe and the Middle East since they first hit the market.  With the demand for this fashionable foot-wear reaching fever pitch we have worked with the client to put together a robust multi-channel international retail structure that fits their particular needs.  This has involved not only setting up their own corporate stores but also putting in place licences, franchises, concessions and shop in shop arrangements. Our years of experience have helped to guide this high profile young retailer to a future of sustained success.

Advising Lush on the structure of its franchise/licence operations and preparing standard documentation for its international partners.  Over recent months we have advised Lush on partner issues in such diverse territories as Brazil, Italy, and the Philippines and most recently have advised them on the restructuring of their German operations involving 18 retail stores in key German cities.
