On 20 May, Fox Williams is hosting an in-person panel discussion and networking event at its offices at 10 Finsbury Square, London, EC2A 1AF. The session will explore the most pressing in-house legal and HR issues facing fashion brands in 2025.

Operating in such a fast-moving and globalised sector brings unique complexities. Recent legislative reforms, both in the UK and overseas, have further transformed the landscape – from shifts in employment law to the implications for international trade and tariffs.

An expert panel will share insights on strengthening HR functions within fashion businesses; the commercial and employment impact of recent UK legal reforms; and the consequences of tariff changes introduced by the Trump administration.

The panel, meanwhile, will include: Pia Dekkers, former HR Director of Chanel; Victoria Simon, Legal Counsel at Vivienne Westwood; Claire Day, Legal Counsel at TFG Brands; and Paul Alger, International Business Director of the UK Fashion and Textile Association (UKFT).

The discussion will be moderated by Stephen Sidkin, partner at Fox Williams. To register your interest, please click here.
