We represent stakeholders throughout the art market at both the individual and institutional levels, including collectors, family offices, galleries and dealers, advisors and appraisers, auction houses, museums, foundations, and artists. Each year, we handle hundreds of millions of dollars in art deals and have been responsible for major, precedent-setting legal victories in courts.
The members of the Art Law Group are deeply experienced in the field of art law and the business of art. They are regularly asked to serve on panels and to address professional audiences; they have published numerous relevant scholarly articles, and they have taught at premier institutions. Attorneys in the group chair Art Law Committees for both the New York County and New York State Bar Associations and have been recognized by Chambers and the New York Law Journal for providing top and “trailblazing” work in the field of art law. Attorneys in the group also conceived and led the development of the Court of Arbitration for Art (CAfA) based in The Hague, which is the first alternative dispute resolution (ADR) forum in the world devoted specifically to art disputes.
