Getting fashion products to customers involves entering into a series of business relationships – all of which require commercial agreements. We have special expertise in advising on supply and agency agreements. Our fashion clients benefit from our advice on concession, shop-in-shop and franchise agreements. We also know the tricks behind conditions of sale.
