We are proud to announce that our Lead Counsel at Cardinal Counsel, Bernice Asein, has authored and published a pioneering book titled Fashion Law in Africa: A Comprehensive Guide for Lawyers, Entrepreneurs, and Industry Leaders.

As Africa’s creative economy continues to expand, fashion has emerged as one of the continent’s most dynamic industries. However, its growth brings with it complex legal questions around intellectual property, contracts, financing, sustainability, and cross-border trade. Until now, there has been limited scholarship addressing these issues from an African perspective.

This book fills that gap. It provides a comprehensive resource that combines practical insights with legal analysis, tailored to the realities of Africa’s fashion ecosystem. It speaks to lawyers, entrepreneurs, designers, policymakers, and industry leaders who seek to understand and navigate the legal frameworks shaping the future of fashion on the continent.

Fashion Law in Africa is more than a book, it is a tool for empowerment, conversation, and growth in one of Africa’s most promising industries.
