Design Law is the body of law governing the creative, business and regulatory elements applicable to interior designers, website and graphic designers, architects, landscape architects, fashion designers and other designers.

The Mills & Mills LLP Design Law Group advises design professionals on all aspects of the business of design – a dynamic and continually evolving field. As counsel to the Association of Registered Interior Designers of Ontario, the lawyers in our Design Law Group know the specific legal issues affecting the design sector.

We assist individual design professionals and businesses in many areas, including corporate structure, lease and contract negotiations, the hiring, management and termination of employees or independent contractors, the protection of designers’ intellectual property rights and the resolution of disputes. Our lawyers have experience with navigating the array of legal issues that may impact the design process from beginning to end.
