Practice Capabilities
Loeb & Loeb’s Consumer Brands and Retail Group attorneys are instrumental in helping clients launch, market and profit from the products and services demanded by today’s global consumers. From concept through manufacturing and distribution, we guide clients through the maze of financing, investment, licensing and branding of consumer products that range from the essential to the extravagant.
As a recognized leader in legal services related to corporate transactions and finance, intellectual property and licensing, and advertising and promotions, we are often the first to know where tomorrow’s next big product ideas are hatching and where to look for good investment and expansion opportunities. That insight and creativity is especially important to entrepreneurs and designers as well as to equity investors and holding companies seeking to expand their portfolios.
Our attorneys understand and appreciate the market sensitivities and issues specific to companies in the consumer product and retail industries. We take retail seriously and know the strategies needed to go from no-name apathy to brand name demand. We closely track business trends impacting owners and investors.
At Loeb & Loeb, we know that consumer brands and retail businesses depend on a legal partner that knows how to read this dynamic and fast-paced sector. We understand the margins, advertising opportunities, consumer trends and partnerships attractive to brands of all types, including restaurants and retail chains, apparel and accessories retailers, furniture manufacturers, household products companies, celebrity personalities and technology providers.
Not only do we serve as legal advisors, we also routinely assist boards, chief executives and individual clients in formulating strategic plans, business policies and targeted courses of action aimed at achieving specific business goals. Where appropriate, we leverage our deep industry relationships and resources to accelerate business cycles and narrow the time required to achieve long- and short-term objectives.
Loeb & Loeb’s Corporate and Securities; Private Equity; Real Estate; Bankruptcy, Restructuring and Creditors’ Rights; Tax and Financial Services Groups offer a variety of solutions for companies looking to expand, sell, divest or acquire. We understand the life cycles of cutting-edge start-ups just as we help established brands and manufacturers supply the retail chain to reach today’s consumers.
We are ideally positioned to offer a variety of services to companies with overseas operations or those contemplating operating or distributing products in the global market. This position is further enhanced with the opening of our newest office in Beijing, China.

At Loeb & Loeb, our commitment to fostering and maintaining a diverse workforce is as important as our commitment to every client, case and transaction. Our inclusive environment and consideration of varied perspectives are essential to creating the best solutions for our clients, and integral elements of our success. It’s just another way: Loeb& Loeb adds Value.
Driving our diversity initiatives are the attorneys and staff who serve on our Workplace Diversity and Inclusion Committee. The mission of the Workplace Diversity and Inclusion Committee is to advance diversity awareness within the firm, establish firm-wide policies and initiatives that support our commitment to maintaining a diverse workforce; foster understanding, communication and respect; and promote an inclusive workplace environment that utilizes the talents of attorneys and staff of all race, color, national origin, ethnic and cultural background, religion, sex, age, medical condition or disability, citizenship, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation or preference and marital, veteran or family status. At Loeb & Loeb we believe drawing on the talents of a diverse pool of attorneys and staff creates a workplace environment that allows us to attract and retain a diverse workforce and to serve our clients more effectively and creatively as a result.
Recruiting and Retention
The Workplace Diversity and Inclusion Committee assists and monitors Loeb & Loeb’s ongoing efforts to promote and achieve its diversity goals, especially the goal of meaningfully increasing the representation and retention of women and minority lawyers at all levels of the firm. The committee advises firm management regarding procedures for enhancing the recruitment, retention and promotion of diverse attorneys, and provides input on ways to integrate diversity goals into everyday decision-making, policies and management practices.
Affinity Groups
Loeb & Loeb attorneys and staff members are active in four affinity groups: Attorneys of Color, LGBT, Women and Parents. These groups provide a voluntary support network designed to create a more inclusive culture, enrich the work environment, and identify solutions and strategies that help the firm recruit, develop, advance and retain talented attorneys. Through thoughtful discussion of topical issues and identification of best practices, our affinity group members are able to drive meaningful change and promote a culture of collaboration and positive action.
Mentoring
Encouraging the professional growth and development of our attorneys is an important focus at Loeb & Loeb. It is key to the success of our attorneys, our firm and our service to clients. Our mentor program provides associates with the structure and framework needed to build skill sets and develop valuable professional connections. Through both informal and formal mentoring, senior lawyers share their experience, knowledge and insight to help guide associates on the path to become future firm leaders.
Community Outreach
Our commitment to diversity is enhanced by our active involvement as members and sponsors of several organizations that support and reflect our diverse society, such as the California Minority Counsel Program and Lambda Legal. We also participate in programs that promote diversity in the legal profession, including the recently expanded Judicial Intern Opportunity Program from which the ABA Section of Litigation places law students of color and those from disadvantaged backgrounds into judicial internships.
In addition, we are a signatory of the Diversity Statement and Policies promulgated by the New York City and Los Angeles County Bar Associations. Both of these initiatives call upon law firms to hire diverse incoming classes and to maintain this diversity as associates rise in seniority and are considered for partnership.
DIVERSITY ADDS VALUE!
