Retail Law Resource Center

The Retail Law Resource Center is a hub for in-house retail counsel to learn the latest strategies on guiding and advising organizations. Topics covered include employment law, COVID-19, retail litigation and opportunities to connect through committees and councils.

Retail supply chain executives at NRF member companies have the opportunity to join one of NRF’s committees, offering opportunities to share information and best practices, network with other members in their field and help shape policy that impacts the retail industry.

Retail Litigation Headquarters

NRF’s representation of retailers extends to the courts as laws and regulations often become the subject of litigation.

NRF has filed lawsuits of its own, joined retail companies or other trade associations in doing so, and has filed amicus briefs in a number of lawsuits where the retail industry has an interest. 

Browse legal briefs NRF has filed, accompanied by news releases and other supporting material where available. 

Member survey: Have you received a patent or mass arbitration demand letter?

NRF is compiling data on patent and other IP-related demand letters that members are receiving. Members may submit information about demand letters that you receive anonymously.
