Fashion

JMU Law Firm represents medium-sized enterprises in the fashion industry, providing a full range of legal services, including the protection of intellectual property, the drafting of agency, distribution, design and consultancy contracts, logistical organisation, and the setting up of shops, showrooms and outlets.

The Firm also assists young designers or new entrepreneurs entering the market: in these cases, legal advice is accompanied by global support, which, thanks to the network of contacts built up over the years, can provide assistance to facilitate the growth of the company, from marketing to the development of distribution channels, whether physical or digital.

Many of these activities have an international profile and are often part of transactions involving other areas of the Firm's practice, such as international contracts, acquisitions of companies (including licenses for the use of trademarks) or real estate (for the purchase or lease of points of sale).

The Firm also assists companies in drawing up organisational models in accordance with Legislative Decree no.231/01 for the prevention of certain types of offences that can be committed most frequently in the 'Fashion Industry': in addition to intellectual property offences (such as counterfeiting, falsifying trademarks and patents, placing products on the market with false pretences, and other offences provided for by copyright law), one should not underestimate all the activities that can lead to environmental offences: in fact, it is well known that the fashion industry is one of the most polluting industries in the world (think of the textile industry, which is responsible for greenhouse gas emissions; the treatment of fabrics and the industrial washing of garments, which consume huge amounts of water; the disposal of industrial waste, which can pollute water resources, etc.).
