Estelle Ivanova gains LVMH Certificate<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We\u00a0are also very pleased to announce that\u00a0Estelle Ivanova,\u00a0of Counsel and Head of our French Law Practice Group, has successfully completed the\u00a0Inside LVMH Certificate\u00a0\u2013 an intellectually enriching programme created by the LVMH Group and its iconic\u00a0Maisons, including\u00a0Louis Vuitton; Dior; TAG Heuer; Mo\u00ebt Hennessy; Berluti; Tiffany & Co.; Chaumet; and other distinguished consumer brands.<\/span><\/p>\n

This unique learning programme offers a comprehensive immersion into the strategic foundations of the luxury goods industry. It explores key pillars, such as\u00a0creation and design; brand management; retail excellence; digital marketing; sustainability; creative circularity; traceability; transparency; customer experience; innovation; and\u00a0inclusion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Building on her expertise in\u00a0EU law, international law, sports law, and\u00a0arbitration, Estelle examined the growing and important interface between the luxury goods industry and high-level sport – a dynamic field where values of\u00a0excellence, heritage, performance, and\u00a0global influence\u00a0converge.<\/span><\/p>\n

She was particularly interested in how\u00a0LVMH strategically bridges\u00a0these worlds, notably through its role as\u00a0Premium Partner of the Paris 2024 Olympic & Paralympic Games, and its\u00a0historic 10-year global partnership with Formula 1\u00ae, beginning in 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n

Estelle also closely follows recent developments, such as\u00a0the Louis Vuitton official partnership with Real Madrid; the Loro Piana renewed sponsorship of the Giraglia Regatta; and the broader LVMH Group commitments to\u00a0ethical conduct, social responsibility, and\u00a0sustainability, as expressed in the LVMH Code of Conduct and Supplier Code of Conduct.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her completion of this Certificate\u00a0aligns seamlessly with the ability of\u00a0our Law Firm\u00a0to support clients\u00a0in the\u00a0luxury, sport, and\u00a0lifestyle sectors, and reflects our commitment to\u00a0delivering cross-sector legal expertise at the highest level.<\/span><\/p>\n
