The Retail Litigation Center, which represents the legal views of leading U.S. retailers, will celebrate its 10th birthday next spring in an industry struggling to adapt to changing consumer buying habits.

The center is the separate litigation arm of the Retail Industry Leaders Association in Washington, D.C., and is considered the voice of the industry in the judicial system. Open to all retailers and select law firms, the center is “growing and hanging in there over time,” according to Deborah White, general counsel for the association and head of the litigation unit.
