How Fashion Companies Can Navigate Unpaid Internship Programs

In this episode of Fashion Counsel, Partner Anthony Lupo talks with Labor & Employment Practice Leader Michael Stevens about how fashion companies should handle unpaid internships in a litigious environment.

Unpaid internships have made big headlines this year, with fashion houses and publications becoming the target of several high-profile class actions, including an eye-popping $50 million lawsuit and a $450,000 settlement.
