Winston Speaks At The Luxury Law Summit Europe 2020

Winston & Strawn sponsored the Luxury Law Summit Europe for the second successive year. This year’s theme for the wholly virtual conference was “Rebuilding and expanding the luxury sector post-pandemic.”

London Partner Zoë Ashcroft chaired a panel focusing on “Collaboration and consolidation opportunities in fashion, luxury, and retail post-COVID?” The session covered:

• Key changes, trends, and opportunities in the current market
• Change management: insights and practical suggestions on navigating change
• Collaboration and consolidation: investment and acquisition market trends
• Global investment strategies and expectations in fashion, luxury, and retail
• Sustainability and climate change: challenges and opportunities

Zoë was joined on the panel by Richard Kestenbaumb of Triangle Capital, Jeffrey Hellman of PVH Corp, and Julia Cook of Change Management Group.

The conference served as a forum to her from luxury founders and experts on how they are responding to the current crisis and what they are doing to steer their businesses through these challenging circumstances. As well as the Winston session, the event program topics included analysis of litigating and what’s in store post-pandemic, the application of new technologies to the sector, and insights from London, Paris, Milan, and New York.
