Interested in fashion law? Here's a 1-day course which comes with a 10% discount for IPKat readers
The IPKat is happy to support a new initiative by fellow Kat Rosie Burbidge, Giulia Gasparin (River Island) and myself to provide initially a 1-day course devoted to exploring some of the key areas within fashion law. This is part of a new project called 'Fashion Law London' [you can explore the website here].
The 1-day residential course: 1 May 2019
The 1-day residential course will take place in central London on Wednesday, 1 May 2019.
It will allow participants to acquire an understanding of the most important legal issues facing the fashion sector, ranging from protection of immaterial assets to e-commerce, from contractual and employment issues to franchising and brand identity.
