What’s In Her Bag: Elizabeth Kurpis

I inquired with Elizabeth and this is what she said about her job:

Generally speaking, I act as outside General Counsel to my clients, proactively guiding their businesses towards strategic and fast-paced growth in the fashion industry. In other words, I handle all legal matters that may come their way, whether it be trademarking issues, contract matters, such as collaboration agreements, manufacturing agreements, drop ship agreements, client contracts, management arrangements, licensing agreements, employment matters, real estate matters (for example, pop up shop agreements), e-commerce issues and other business-related matters. However, sometimes there are matters that are outside my expertise or where I may need the assistance of a larger team. On the rare occasion this happens, for instance, in litigation matters, I hire outside counsel for my clients and manage the issue directly with the extended team on behalf of my clients. The idea for me was to be a resource for my clients for any and all issues that may arise on the legal and business front, a one-stop-shop so to speak. I’m my clients’ first line of defense and primary legal resource. My clients range from fashion, jewelry and beauty brands to retailers, public relations firms and influencers.

That was a text transformation setting of our site that changed the captions to be capitalized, I fixed it.
