Our lawyers combine extensive experience of advising clients operating in the art market with a passionate interest in art and cultural history. Many in the team have first-hand experience of working within the art industry; our partners and associates have even completed secondments with art industry clients in London and overseas. We also have rich experience in other luxury assets such as collector cars, musical instruments, jewellery, wine and watches.
Our team comprises lawyers from all of the firm’s main practice areas and advises on both contentious and non-contentious matters. As well as advising on art and cultural property law issues, we can provide clients with general commercial, tax, employment, real estate and corporate advice. As an international firm, we can also provide clients with a range of local advice through our own offices or our close relationships with experienced local firms.
For many of our clients we are an extension of their own legal department, providing additional support where required. For some we effectively are their legal department.
