Our expertise in commercial, intellectual property and regulatory law enables us to provide tailored and comprehensive advice for cosmetics clients.
Our work has taken us across many product lines including colour cosmetics, makeup, skincare, haircare, fragrance, personal care and hygiene products, as well as beauty appliances.
Brand protection — we can identify, protect, enforce and exploit the valuable intellectual property assets that arise in your products and business, including trade marks, designs and copyright. You may not realise that unique features of your products or packaging can be protected to prevent copycats from jumping on the back of your success but we can help to identify and protect registrable rights and advise on how to commercialise them.
Influencers — if you’re looking to promote or expand your cosmetics product range, we have extensive experience with preparing brand-influencer contracts and ambassador agreements, as well as assisting with collaboration agreements and general licensing arrangements. Close relationships with many influencers and brand ambassadors place us at the forefront of dealing with influencer management queries, including compliance with brand guidelines and advertising standards (ASA).
Regulatory — it’s critical for businesses operating in the cosmetics industry to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, including around product labelling, cosmetic claims, advertising standards, packaging matters and green claims. We’re able to ensure that your products comply with ever-evolving standards, allowing you to innovate with confidence.
Commercial contracts — we support on all aspects of commercial contracts, from manufacturing and supply chain agreements to distribution contracts, preparing terms of business and advising on agency agreements, collaborations and joint ventures.
