The Firm represents art dealers, auctioneers, gallery owners, auction houses, experts, artists, and collectors in all types of disputes they encounter in the art market, both civil and criminal.
In addition, the firm advises and assists stakeholders in the art market across all aspects of their activities, providing legal support that has become increasingly essential as the art market operates at the intersection of multiple legislative and regulatory frameworks. In this context, the firm advises clients on their contractual relationships and the structuring of their operations, the protection of their intellectual property rights, compliance with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing regulations, as well as the drafting of general terms and conditions designed to prevent, or at least effectively manage, potential future disputes.
In this context, the firm has developed recognised expertise in copyright law as applied to art, including artists’ resale rights, rights of representation and exhibition, artists’ estates, and the publication of limited editions in photography, printmaking, sculpture, and other artistic media.
