Law & Legal

Retail and E-Commerce

Retail is a licensing business wearing a merchandising business as a disguise, and a national rollout multiplies every obligation by the number of states.

How we Help

We support retailers and platforms from site to sale. Leasing and licensing of retail premises including mall and high street formats, revenue share structures and fit-out obligations. Store level licensing, shops and establishments registration, legal metrology, weights and measures, and the signage and fire approvals that hold up an opening. Consumer protection, including the e-commerce rules, dark pattern guidance, unfair trade practice exposure and product liability. Foreign investment conditions in single brand, multi brand and marketplace models, which is a structural question rather than a compliance one. Vendor, private label and franchise contracting. Advertising and promotion compliance. Enforcement and class complaints. For a rollout we work to the opening date, because a retailer’s legal risk and a retailer’s calendar are the same risk.
