Luxury

The luxury sector is built on excellence, innovation, craftsmanship, and brand image — all key intangible assets that must be safeguarded through the effective use of intellectual property rights and the implementation of appropriate contractual frameworks.

Whether it involves combating counterfeiting, ensuring supply chain and distribution compliance and consistency, or structuring strategic partnerships, our proactive approach aims to turn sector-specific challenges into growth and innovation opportunities, ensuring smooth expansion and long-term protection of our clients’ interests.

With strong cross-border expertise, particularly between France and Spain, we help our clients navigate diverse regulatory environments while complying with local requirements.

• We assisted a watchmaking brand in terminating its contract with its French distributor and in establishing its French subsidiary.

• We represented a distributor in litigation against a leading luxury brand before French courts and the Court of Justice of the European Union.

• M&B was appointed by a global luxury leader to combat parallel imports and grey market sales online and on marketplaces; we initiated numerous actions and obtained landmark rulings in this area.

• We regularly assist and represent companies in the fashion, fragrance, and watchmaking sectors in disputes primarily related to their distribution networks and the protection of their intellectual and industrial property rights.
