Law Firm Focused on Luxury Watch Market

Hey guys,

bizzarre request: does anyone have a good law firm that focuses on the luxury watch market? No trouble (nor looking for any trouble!), I am just trying to understand how risks are mitigated by the grey market firms, and whether there is risk assumed by a company selling a new watch purchased fairly through an AD, but at below market value.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I can't imagine any firm specializing in the watch market as most companies like Richemont have a Chief Legal Counsel and a team of lawyers.

Probably a good place to start is import/export lawyer since that seems to be what Rolex likes to harp on

Bizarre doesn’t even come close to describing that request.
What risks are you imagining the 3rd party resellers are facing?

What would be even more bizarre is an actual law firm specializing in wristwatches.

By the minute? COSC standards???
