About the 2017 Forum

The retail world is constantly changing. Consumers are forever demanding more options and greater flexibility and retailers must adapt in order to compete. What will the evolving interface between consumers and retailers mean for law? Will your in-house legal team have the capacity to foresee and resolve possible challenges, before they become problems? This conference will look at the future landscape of retail law and how we can best prepare to deal with change. The conference is aimed at senior in-house counsel.

We invite you to join expert partners from Dentons law firm to explore the Future of Retail Law in a convenient half day forum. There will be opportunities to hear from your peers, benchmark against similar-sized teams, and ask questions in a lively and informal setting.


Key themes include:

  • Legislative updates
  • Future-proofing the store portfolio: Deep dive on retail leases
  • Crisis Management: Dealing with the reputational risk and impact brought by social media setbacks
  • Pricing practices and competition law compliance
  • The big Legal practice debate: Best working practices for in house and external counsel
  • CSR and managing the growing Compliance burden
  • Technology, innovation and cloud-based platforms: Don’t be left behind
  • Distribution centres, logistics, shipping and the Supply Chain
  • International expansion through franchising and joint ventures
