The fashion and beauty industry is a significant contributor to the UK economy, driving creativity, cultural expression, and job creation. However, it faces challenges such as economic fluctuations, the need for sustainable practices, global competition, and keeping pace with rapidly changing consumer trends and technological advancements—all while maintaining ethical production standards.
If you are a fashion designer or operate a fashion or beauty business, we can assist with all your legal needs, including:
- structuring your business, from independent labels to international brands, e-commerce platforms and beauty studios;
- drafting and reviewing contracts, including manufacturer’s agreements, design contractor agreements, supplier agreements and wholesale sales contracts;
- drafting your sales terms for your e-commerce sales, ensuring you are compliant with UK consumer law;
- employment and workplace safety (advising on staff contracts, workplace policies, and health and safety regulations for salons, studios, and manufacturing facilities);
- reviewing commercial leases (for retail stores, pop-up locations, studios, and warehousing);
- privacy and data, ensuring e-commerce platforms and marketing activities meet data protection laws;
- marketing compliance, including for social media;
- intellectual property protection;
- buying or selling a business (providing legal guidance for acquisitions, mergers, and divestments in fashion or beauty);
- and more.
We also support makeup artists, luxury brands, and designer brands, ensuring their legal needs are met as they grow and adapt to the dynamic fashion and beauty markets. Whether you’re working with high-end products or engaging directly with consumers, our legal services are designed to support you every step of the way.
