Luxury Law New York Summit
Pioneering New Pathways in the Next Generation of Luxury
With an inherent thirst for authenticity, sustainability and experiential value, the next generation seeks a departure from conventional norms, embracing a more inclusive, conscious and technologically immersive approach to indulgence and heritage.
From safeguarding brand integrity and intellectual property to navigating the complexities of sustainability, data privacy and emerging innovations, the Summit will delved into a multitude of legal challenges and opportunities.
The 2023 Luxury Law Summit set the stage for general counsel and in-house legal teams to unite, offering an opportunity to discuss experiences and share insights on the latest trends and challenges facing the industry. We heard from CEOs, founders and luxury leaders who inspired and shared all there is to know about the business of fashion.
Delegates were immersed in stimulating panel discussions, thought-provoking keynotes and interviews, as well as interactive workshops that explored a wide range of topics. From brand protection and intellectual property to sustainability, digital disruption the agenda covered every facet of luxury and what it means for your legal teams.
It was not just the content that made this conference exceptional— delegates networked with like-minded professionals and forged valuable connections where they exchanged ideas, shared experiences and formed lasting partnerships.

It was a pleasure to attend the first Luxury Law Summit in New York! The content was terrific and the networking opportunities were worthwhile. Congratulations on a successful event
A very well organised event with some very high quality content
As always, it was an excellent event. Just the right size and scope
Fantastic, really well done and great range of people, talks
Brilliant agenda. The organisers should be congratulated.
I thought it was one of the best legal seminars I have ever been to, it was so well organised and the length of each talk was appropriate, so as to keep listeners interested.
I thought the breadth of subjects and variety of speakers was outstanding.
It was really nice to have fashion (and various design / luxury business) people there – great mix.
