Overview

Our team includes attorneys focusing on litigation, transportation and logistics, labor and employment, real estate and brand protection, who work side-by-side on the issues that define this industry. We have a strong track record in consumer-facing class actions and commercial disputes, and we bring that same depth to every part of our clients’ businesses.

Our practice has been ranked nationally by Chambers 2026 and recognized as a Top U.S. Law Firm for Retail Companies by The Fashion Law. 

Offering Unrivaled Excellence

Our Retail & E-Commerce attorneys have decades of experience:

• defending retailers in high-stakes litigation
• advising on new regulations
• identifying opportunities
• positioning our clients to compete successfully in the global, digital-first marketplace

In litigation, we know that each case presents its own distinct challenges, so we proactively assess the risks based on each client’s specific circumstances and goals. Then, we strategize to determine the best course of action, whether that’s a motion to dismiss, aggressive litigation or an innovative “out-of-the-box” solution.

Our clients include leading brands, luxury retailers, emerging internet sellers, iconic brick-and-mortar stores, hospitality venues and manufacturers. They all rely on our integrated team to help them build and protect their brands. Deeply immersed in the world of retail law, we counsel clients on risk-avoidance strategies so they can navigate the dynamic retail landscape and excel, as the industry continues to transform rapidly.

Whether aggressively litigating a case or providing savvy counsel, we provide clients with bespoke solutions and “best-in-class” representation. From bet-the-company commercial litigation to structuring joint ventures, counseling start-ups or managing a corporate restructuring, our Retail & E-Commerce Group delivers a comprehensive suite of legal and business services so our clients can focus on what matters: running their businesses.

Unparalleled Retail Class Action and Commercial Litigation Defense

When the break-glass moment arrives, our team comes to the rescue. We have defended hundreds of consumer class actions. Some allege consumer fraud. Others allege deceptive pricing or false advertising. Others yet allege federal and state privacy law and automatic renewal law violations. Our team also litigates cases involving the ADA, “Made in the USA” claims, return policies, gift card laws, call recording laws and alleged violations of California’s Proposition 65. Well-versed in California law and its various regulations, we are often retained as California defense counsel.

We are formidable courtroom opponents. Because we focus on this industry, we know how retail disputes develop—and how to position our clients from the start. That means practical advice, efficient case management, and a clear-eyed view of when to push for early resolution and when to take a case to trial. We leverage our experience to find the shortest path to achieving our clients’ business goals.

Staying Ahead of the Curve

Retail litigation today often turns on technology—data cooperatives, session replay, chatbots, tracking pixels. We handle these cases regularly and understand both how the technology works and how courts and regulators are responding to it.

Our volume of retail work also gives us an early look at emerging risks. When a new wave of litigation hits, we’re often already in the middle of it—which means we can alert clients and help them get ahead of problems before they land on their doorstep.
