This issue of Law à la Mode is brought to you by our German editorial team, in the midst of a month in which fashion capitals around the globe are enjoying Fashion Week S/S 2013.

Highlights in this issue include an insight into global transfer pricing trends, a look at the real estate challenges for factory outlet centres, articles on online counterfeits and enforcement strategies, and an update on the regulatory crackdown on "camouflaged" advertising.

We also launch the first in a two-part Middle East series, in which our colleagues in Dubai report on how foreign retailers can identify good business opportunities in the United Arab Emirates, and provide tips on what should be considered from a corporate, IP and real estate perspective.

If you have any comments please get in touch with the Fashion, Retail and Design Group via our email: fashion@dlapiper.com

We hope that you enjoy this issue!
