Axinn Managing Partner Jeny Maier joins fashion and luxury industry counsel Andowah Newton and co-host Puja Patel on the American Bar Association's Our Curious Amalgam podcast to explore what happens when antitrust law meets high fashion. The episode unpacks recent cases across the luxury sector—from the FTC's challenge to Tapestry's acquisition of Capri, to no-poach allegations involving Saks and major fashion houses, to tying claims against Hermès and the iconic Birkin bag.
