Laurie Berke-Weiss, founding partner of Berke-Weiss Law, recently spoke about employment law in the fashion industry as a panelist at the NYCBA event Visas en Vogue: Threading the Needle of US Immigration Law for Fashion Designers & Models. This event was focused on the unique legal challenges faced by both designers and models in the fashion industry. Ms. Berke-Weiss was able to share her knowledge of relevant employment issues, with a focus on the new Fashion Worker’s Act, while other panelists spoke about relevant immigration and intellectual property issues as well as fashion history. After a lively panel discussion, those in attendance enjoyed a fashion show which showcased the collections of designers who had immigrated to the United States!
