Retail, Fashion & Beauty Team
Sheppard Mullin’s retail, fashion, and beauty clients often comment that our team members know their systems and businesses better than they do. While a flattering exaggeration from our clients, we strive to be proficient in all aspects of the legal industry, beyond what our day-to-day advice requires. Our clients range from luxury brands to the largest household name department stores, offering everything from (hand) bags to baguettes, the turkey pan to the table the holiday dinnerware rests on. No matter the channel, from brick and mortar to mobile to social, our team guides our clients through the increasingly complex regulatory challenges and digital transformation that has taken hold of this sector.
Our Retail team can assist your company in virtually every area that affects the retail, fashion, and beauty industries.
