ESTELLE IVANOVA GAINS LVMH CERTIFICATE
VALLONI Attorneys at Law are very pleased to announce that Estelle Ivanova, Of Counsel and Head of our French Law Practice Group, has successfully completed the Inside LVMH Certificate – an intellectually enriching programme created by the LVMH Group and its iconic Maisons, including Louis Vuitton; Dior; TAG Heuer; Moët Hennessy; Berluti; Tiffany & Co.; Chaumet; and other distinguished consumer brands.
This unique learning programme offers a comprehensive immersion into the strategic foundations of the luxury goods industry. It explores key pillars, such as creation and design; brand management; retail excellence; digital marketing; sustainability; creative circularity; traceability; transparency; customer experience; innovation; and inclusion.
Estelle gained valuable insights into the Group’s six core business sectors: Fashion & Leather Goods; Wines & Spirits; Perfumes & Cosmetics; Watches & Jewellery; Selective Retailing; and Other Activities – each rooted in exceptional craftsmanship and brand heritage.
Building on her expertise in EU law, international law, sports law, and arbitration, Estelle examined the growing and important interface between the luxury goods industry and high-level sport — a dynamic field where values of excellence, heritage, performance, and global influence converge.
She was particularly interested in how LVMH strategically bridges these worlds, notably through its role as Premium Partner of the Paris 2024 Olympic & Paralympic Games, and its historic 10-year global partnership with Formula 1®, beginning in 2025.
These initiatives reflect a bold investment in global storytelling and emotional brand engagement, whilst also raising key legal and strategic questions relating to governance; commercial law; intellectual property; competition law; and international regulation.
Estelle also closely follows recent developments, such as the Louis Vuitton official partnership with Real Madrid; the Loro Piana renewed sponsorship of the Giraglia Regatta; and the broader LVMH Group commitments to ethical conduct, social responsibility, and sustainability, as expressed in the LVMH Code of Conduct and Supplier Code of Conduct.
Her completion of the Inside LVMH Certificate aligns seamlessly with the ability of VALLONI Attorneys at Law to support clients in the luxury, sport, and lifestyle sectors, and reflects our commitment to delivering cross-sector legal expertise at the highest level.
Congratulations Estelle!
