Set Strategy

We work with fashion clients’ agents, managers, publicists, families, and other advisors to evaluate different opportunities and create long-term strategies, and clients often take advantage of our network of international contacts to advance lucrative projects.

Negotiate Endorsement Agreements

Working with our Entertainment and Advertising Groups, we help our clients negotiate and structure spokesperson, promotional tie-in, and other endorsement opportunities for the use of their unique names, images, and likenesses.

Structure Licensing and Merchandising Deals

We negotiate and structure licensing and merchandising opportunities in numerous markets, and many of our clients have successfully licensed their names, images, and designs for apparel, lingerie, accessories, housewares, and other product lines at major luxury and department stores.

Secure Intellectual Property Rights

We establish and protect publicity rights, trademarks, copyrights, and other intellectual property rights so that fashion clients may fully exploit their names, images, designs, and writings.

Execute Marketing Plans

We advise luxury, fashion, and cosmetics companies on all aspects of marketing and advertising, including agency-client agreements, rights clearance, and compliance with federal, state, and local regulations.

Leverage Branded Entertainment

We structure agreements to integrate fashion brands into films, television shows, books, and other creative properties.

Structure Compensation Packages

We negotiate and draft competitive employment agreements for creative talent and executives, including bonus, equity, stock option, severance, and other compensation.

Establish Business Form

We help fashion clients establish corporations, limited liability companies, joint ventures, and other entities that serve their professional and personal goals.
