Inside Out 11
Happy New York Fashion Week! Against a backdrop of political, cultural, and financial upheaval, both courtrooms and this season's best looks are bastions of precision, proportion, and structure. And like custom tailoring and couture, well-constructed lawsuits in fashion are built from the inside out, with in-house counsel taking the measure of the situation and making critical decisions about whether or not to litigate, selection of outside counsel, their own degrees of involvement at various points, and everything else that happens behind the scenes. These influential attorneys typically keep their lips zipped, engaging law firms to present everything from narrowly tailored arguments to voluminous briefs, but our extraordinary speakers have agreed to discuss their processes, stories, do's, don'ts, and other off-the-record insights. Join us on Friday, February 20, for our 11th annual "Inside Out" panel discussion, "Tailored Suits: Fashion's In-House Counsel on Managing Litigation"!
