Despite its sheen of glamour\, the fashion industry as a major source of employment is not to be undermined when it comes to compliance controversies and litigation. In recent years\, advocacy surrounding uncomfortable issues like gender discrimination and sexual harassment\, has rippled throughout the industry and initiatives in the wake of the #Metoo movement are still trending.  Workers’ classification and misclassification continue to pose challenges as employers engage employees and independent contractors in different roles\, from models\, to retail staff to designers. Far from insulated from trends\, this industry is also seeing the impact of cannabis and recreational marijuana laws. Industry leaders in this employment law panel will guide and educate the audience as they explore these “in” topics\, current state of the law and best practices. \n\nOlivera Medenica\, Partner\, Dunnington Bartholow & Miller LLP (moderator)\nJean-Baptiste Bourgeois\, Partner\, Orsay Avocats\nBret A.
