Protection of Valuable Assets
Modern brands derive significant value from their trademarks, copyrights and intellectual property assets. Our IP protection programs are a cornerstone that offers peace of mind to luxury goods clients. From shutting down infringement threats to powerful licensing agreements and IP portfolio audits, we understand the best way to keep clients competitive is to help them be leaders in their space.
Worldwide Resources
The globalization of luxury goods means our clients’ interests and deals are often multijurisdictional and cross-border.
Through decades of representation of prestigious brand names and soon-to-be icons, we have developed a network of international and domestic professionals that help us serve clients wherever a risk or opportunity arises. We regularly work with government and legal authorities, including customs officials, throughout the United States, the European Union and Asia, which includes in-depth experience in China.
