Easily confused with
に関して に関して is a neutral 'regarding ~.' The は in に関しては foregrounds or contrasts that topic — 'as for this one in particular,' often implying other matters are handled differently. について について is the everyday 'about ~'; に関して(は) is more formal and a touch broader ('concerning / in relation to'). The は adds topic emphasis on top.
