Why Attend and Who Should Attend

Why attend

The luxury marketplace continues to grow apace against a backdrop of difficult trading conditions. Now estimated to be worth

some €212 billion, it has enjoyed a 50 percent increase in global turnover over the past decade.

In the face of such stiff competition in the luxury world, even the smallest luxury company needs to operate at the highest

business level, vigorously exploiting and defending company assets, keeping abreast of relevant laws

and regulations as well as emerging markets.

The Luxury Law Summit will offer luxury leaders and executives a route map into protecting and growing their business

including the tools and networks to help them do so. From creating the right intellectual property assets to dealing with issues

around the supply chain, competition, financial engineering, licensing and reputational and crisis management, those attending

will listen to and meet with the experts in these fields. Speakers will include company founders, owners, CEOs, CMOs,

corporate counsel, heads of IP, counterfeiting and brands, regulators, economists, technology experts and selected law firms.

Who should attend

Attend the Luxury Law Summit if you have responsibility for developing and defending luxury brand properties around the

globe. You will leave with a clearer idea of the potential and challenges of emerging markets, a more defined business

development strategy and an improved understanding of how your legal team can work to make a difference to the success of

your business.
