Fashion, Apparel and Textiles
The lawyers on our Fashion, Apparel and Textile Industry team have first hand experience working with companies that produce everything from hi-tech synthetic yarns to high fashion, from fabrics to footwear, from bricks to clicks.
The apparel and textiles business comprises a range of skills and industry sectors, from fashion designers to contract manufacturers, from basic textiles manufacturing to distributors.
