Loeb & Loeb is pleased to share that the firm has been honored in The Fashion Law’s “Top U.S. Law Firms for Retail Companies” list for 2026. Now in its second year, the list spotlights leading U.S.-based law firms working alongside brands to “mitigate risk, address day-to-day legal needs and protect the value of both their creative outputs and broader business operations.”
In an accompanying profile, Loeb is lauded for the scale and strength of its fashion law practice, anchored by a bi‑coastal team with a significant presence in New York and Los Angeles. The Fashion Law notes the firm’s position at the center of the modern fashion economy, recognizing its work guiding brands through high‑stakes issues at the intersection of regulation, innovation and consumer engagement—including influencer marketing compliance, sustainability initiatives, intellectual property disputes and digital commerce strategies. The profile further highlights how Loeb’s deep entertainment and media capabilities uniquely position the firm to support complex brand collaborations, licensing structures and marquee sponsorship arrangements for iconic luxury and fashion houses worldwide. The firm’s fashion and luxury client roster includes Bergdorf Goodman, Canada Goose, Farm Rio, Furla, Ganni, Golden Goose, Lanvin, Marco Bicego, Moncler, Neiman Marcus, Saint Laurent and Stella McCartney, among others.
Loeb’s Luxury Brands team operates under the direction of Melanie Howard—who also chairs the firm’s Intellectual Property Protection practice and the Advanced Media & Technology department—drawing on her extensive experience at the intersection of intellectual property, media and emerging technology to advise luxury designers, retailers and global brands. The team is known for its ability to navigate the commercial, regulatory and creative dynamics shaping the luxury market, supported by extensive experience representing fashion houses, high‑end department stores, couture designers, jewelers and fragrance companies. The practice is further bolstered by partner Michael Barry, whose broad commercial work reflects a sustained focus on luxury brands and fashion enterprises, particularly those with a strong European presence.
In assessing firms for this year’s list, The Fashion Law reviewed a broad cross‑section of U.S. law firms with established fashion and luxury brand practices. The assessment took a comprehensive approach, examining the scale and breadth of each firm’s fashion‑focused capabilities, the depth and sophistication of its service offerings, the nature of its client base and its overall engagement and visibility within the fashion law ecosystem.
