Chadwick Lawrence assists the on the seven-figure sale of occasion wear label Lavish Alice to Club L London
Our Partnership
We have been advising on the seven-figure sale of occasion wear brand Lavish Alice to womenswear brand Club L London. A label is well known for its A-list clientele including Gigi Hadid and actress Lindsay Lohan.
The Chadwick Lawrence Corporate & Commercial team, led by Leanne Franks and Gaia Hinchliffe, have provided trusted legal support to Manchester-based Lavish Alice for over a decade and supported the label throughout the sale process.
The sale was successfully completed on 28 February and will see Club L London take on the entirety of Lavish Alice’s operations, from intellectual property rights and inventory to website, social media accounts and customer data.
We are proud to have been part of this process. Lavish Alice will continue to operate as a standalone brand, retaining all current employees. Co-founders Lee Bloor and Matthew Newton, who launched the brand in 2013, will oversee the ownership transition before stepping down from their roles.
Leanne Franks, a partner of our Corporate & Commercial team, said: “We are delighted to have advised Lee Bloor and Matthew Newton on the successful sale of Lavish Alice. Having been their trusted legal advisors for over a decade, it has been a privilege to support them throughout their journey – from growth and expansion to this significant milestone.
“We wish them every success in their future ventures and look forward to seeing the company continue to thrive under its new ownership.”
Client feedback
Lee Bloor and Matthew Newton, Founders of Lavish Alice added: “Chadwick Lawrence has been an invaluable legal partner to Lavish Alice for over a decade, providing expert support across intellectual property registration, on-site customer terms, and more.
“Most recently, Leanne and Gaia played a pivotal role in the acquisition of Lavish Alice by Club L London, negotiating bespoke terms and expertly handling the complexities of warranty and indemnity insurance to secure a seamless exit for our Directors. Leanne’s dedication was second to none—available around the clock, including evenings, weekends, and even during her annual leave. We couldn’t have asked for better legal representation.”
