Virtual Conference

NRF Retail Law Summit 2024

Best practices and strategies for in-house retail attorneys, risk and compliance officers, HR pros and legal counsels.
Track trends

Track legal cases impacting the industry

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, and track weekly legal cases that impact the retail industry, including consumer protection, PAGA, CCPA, BIPA and ADA cases.
