Practice Emphasis
The Gardere Retail Team understands what drives a client’s bottom line—the sale of retail products and services to the consumer. Be it regional, national, or global, our understanding of retail is derived from years of working closely with clients. Our diverse experience brings together broad industry and legal knowledge to meet the distinct needs of any client. We are knowledgeable about the issues and concerns of retail businesses, including product safety, human resources, asset protection, enterprise, supply chains, finance, licensing, intellectual property, social media, and sustainability. We understand the legal landscape facing the retail industry and are here to help.
The Gardere Retail Team brings together attorneys experienced in a range of disciplines to provide counsel to domestic and global companies in the retail sector. Our clients include some of the most recognized names in the industry from online, catalog, and traditional brick and mortar operations. From concept to completion, the attorneys in our national retail practice represent owners, developers, investors, lenders, franchisors, and operators. We provide counsel with respect to the planning, design, development, and operation of a broad range of retail operations from specialty consumer goods to big box retailers, discount chains to automobile dealerships, and restaurants to food and beverage retailers.

- Commercial litigation
- Corporate/securities
- Tax

We know retail. We understand retail. We represent retail. |
