A PARTNER at law firm Chadwick Lawrence has been handed a prestigious appointment.
Michael Morse (pictured), an employment law specialist at Chadwick Lawrence, which has offices in Huddersfield, has been appointed legal director for the Association of Suppliers to the British Clothing Industry (ASBCI).
The ASBCI, formed in 1973, is an active and influential “not-for-profit” industry association representing all key sectors of the clothing and textile supply chain. Member companies range from the world’s largest retail groups and fashion brands through to individual consultants.
It is the only commercially impartial networking forum of its kind – allowing clothing suppliers and fabric producers to exchange ideas, resources and knowledge with designers, retailers, technical testing houses, garment cleaning specialists and universities.
It also founded and runs the UK’s largest and most successful student membership programme for future clothing industry professionals.
Mr Morse joined Chadwick Lawrence in 2005 as a partner, being dual qualified in the UK and his native USA, where he spent more than 10 years as a trial attorney.
He said: “I am delighted to have been appointed as legal director for such a trusted and influential industry association. I look forward to the challenges it will bring and to playing a role in the ASBCI and the British clothing industry.”
