Beauty & Fashion

Australia’s beauty and fashion industry is flourishing, with both local and international brands driving innovation in sustainability, design and technology. As consumer preferences evolve, there is increasing demand for ethical practices, environmentally friendly products and efficient e-commerce platforms. However, the industry also faces complex challenges, including compliance with product safety regulations, safeguarding intellectual property in a global market and addressing the legal intricacies of influencer marketing and online retail.

Through Astrons and Phronesis, Astris Law assists beauty manufacturers, fashion brands and e-commerce retailers in addressing these challenges. Intellectual property protection is a key focus, with support provided for registering trademarks and designs through IP Australia and the Patents Act 1990 (Cth), Trade Marks Act 1995 (Cth) and Copyright Act 1968 (Cth), to safeguard innovations both domestically and internationally. In the beauty sector, the firm advises on compliance with the Australian Consumer Law and Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), as well as safety standards and the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989 (Cth).

We can also assist beauty salons to navigate local laws, for example recent law changes for the administration of cosmetic injectables in Queensland. Additionally, Astris Law helps businesses draft legally sound supply chain and partnership contracts, ensuring agreements with manufacturers and distributors are robust and aligned with client interests. In cases of disputes, such as customer claims regarding product safety or allegations of trademark infringement, Phronesis steps in to provide strategic representation to achieve effective resolutions. By combining legal expertise with an understanding of the dynamic beauty and fashion sectors, Astris Law helps businesses navigate challenges, enabling them to focus on growth and maintaining strong brand integrity in a competitive market.

Legal strategies that protect, amplify value and quietly delight.
