Art Law

Art Law and our understanding of conducting transactions

Our firm has a good reputation in art law and has been involved in the sales process for high-priced paintings and sculptures.

Our primary goal is to assist you, whether you are a private or professional art collector, dealer, or someone passionate about outstanding Art. We are here to guide you through every step of your art journey, from buying and selling to consigning.

Any transfer of ownership of Art is a complex subject. The seller probably held the piece for decades, or it was inherited, which can lead to lengthy negotiations. Sometimes, the accompanying paperwork or documentation could be more seamless and complete. Hence, conducting a transaction is only possible with further documents.

We negotiate and draft contracts or, if necessary, act as escrow agents on your behalf, overseeing the successful conclusion of each transaction.

Our comprehensive advice covers all aspects of cross-border transactions, including international taxation and the necessary permits for ownership transfer. You can trust in our expertise to navigate these complex areas.

Confidentially, we can assist you in raising funds for those long-desired additions to your collection, ensuring your financial strategies remain discreet.

We look forward to speaking with you. Please contact us for a free and no-obligation consultation.
