The Only Association Representing Retail in the Courts

Retail Litigation Center

The Retail Litigation Center (RLC) is a membership organization representing the retail industry in the judicial branch through coordinated defense strategies, appellate advocacy, and collaboration among senior retail legal leaders.

How We Represent Retail in the Courts

Defense & Advocacy Divisions

Retailers face increasing litigation risk, coordinated plaintiff strategies, and evolving legal standards across jurisdictions. The Retail Litigation Center advances retail legal interests through two focused divisions—Defense and Advocacy—enabling collaboration, informed response, and influence on court outcomes nationwide.

Leadership

Board of Directors

Senior retail legal executives provide strategic oversight and guide the Retail Litigation Center’s advocacy and defense priorities.

The Retail Litigation Center engages in strategic initiatives that have driven high quality advocacy for retailers on issues of concern and produced extraordinary results. The work of the RLC in South Dakota v. Wayfair exemplifies the value creating results it has achieved for retailers. The new Defense Division provides an incomparable opportunity for retail corporate counsel to work together to help protect our companies by anticipating and understanding litigation trends.
