With around 4,900 stores in 72 markets worldwide, the Group achieved a total net sales figure of SEK210bn in 2018. The legal department of the Group is formed by a number of talented in-house counsel who are able to advise the business on a wide range of legal and compliance matters, such as contract law, data protection, intellectual property, and trademark and design clearance. In a recent collaboration with Google, and with the legal team’s contribution, H&M Group has developed a voice app for H&M Home in selected markets – one of the first voice applications to ever be released within the fashion and interior segment – and a demonstration of the type of innovative initiative the team is capable of supporting.
