²ÝÁñÉçÇø Law’s 10^th Annual Katherine Del Raso Fashion Law Symposium will provide a comprehensive exploration of the legal and business frameworks that continue to shape the fashion industry. In 2025, the retail and fashion industries are bracing for a transformative year heavily influenced by the policies of a new administration. These policies pose significant changes, particularly in trade, tariffs, privacy, and labor. Legal professionals and industry leaders will share their insights on several hot topics, including raising capital, tariffs, artificial intelligence, intellectual property protection, M&A trends, ESG concerns, influencer culture, employment and more. Whether you’re a practicing attorney, student or designer, you don’t want to miss this opportunity to learn and connect.

The Pennsylvania Continuing Legal Education Board has approved this symposium for 3 Substantive CLE credits. Please note that registration for this event is required. Following the symposium, there will be a networking hour and light refreshments in the Ambassador David F. Girard-diCarlo ’73 and Constance B. Girard-diCarlo ’74 Student Lounge.
