Why attend the premier gathering of the top legal minds in retail?

“...[the] Retail Law Conference provides a great networking opportunity to meet individuals who understand life in a retail corporate legal department. It was refreshing to learn of recent federal and state laws that are impacting our industry, and also provide an opportunity to discuss the compliance challenges that retailers confront in the aftermath of COVID-19 pandemic.”
