Painting a Bigger Picture: Where Art and Law Collide

Artists, art collectors and art dealers are often individuals, but they can face complex legal and tax issues that otherwise affect only major corporations. That’s because art transcends national borders while coming into contact with many areas of law and almost all types of tax.

In advising players of all kinds on the art market, we contribute our legal and tax expertise to meet the needs of collections, galleries, auction houses, foundations, museums, and artists themselves. Our international network extends beyond the core topics of law and tax and includes experts in art valuation and insurance.

Our clients can leave all their questions to us, so they’re free to focus on what’s most important to them: art.

We look forward to sharing ideas with you:
