Retail Law
Crowell & Moring LLP has a comprehensive retail law practice representing a broad spectrum of clients in the retail industry, including wholesale and specialty retailers, department stores, and "big-box" retailers across the United States and internationally. Our services encompass a wide range of litigation, transactional and regulatory services, as well as an international counseling practice. Our success is demonstrated by our clients' decisions, time and again, to call upon us for business advice and transactional expertise, and to pursue and defend against claims through litigation and alternative dispute resolution.
On litigation matters, our extensive trial experience enables us to forcefully represent our clients at trial and maximize our efforts in discovery, dispositive motions and other pretrial proceedings. We also provide mediation and other alternative dispute resolution services, bringing the same determination and imagination to settling disputes as we do to trying them. Throughout the representation, we stay focused on understanding and achieving our clients' business goals in the most timely and cost-effective manner. Crowell & Moring’s attorneys have a proven track record, with success in recovering and saving hundreds of millions of dollars in value for our clients in the retail industry.
We also represent clients in the retail industry on a diverse number of transactional matters, including general corporate matters, real estate transactions (leasing and acquisitions), regulatory compliance issues, negotiation of intellectual property and other vendor relationships, debt and equity financing, and e-commerce and privacy issues. Our comprehensive experience in the retail industry allows us to staff our client teams with attorneys from multiple practice groups who can address the needs of our broad retail client base.
