An artist's soul may from time to time suffer a clash with the real and practical world. An art lover may be caught off guard by the complicated process of buying a coveted work. A private gallery is preparing for a major sale or auction. Artists, galleries, institutions and private collectors collaborate and build relationships. These are just a few of the situations where the worlds of art and law meet. We will make sure that the meeting is painless.
We have extensive experience in copyright law and in negotiating and concluding contracts in the creative fields (especially for cooperation, mediation, commission sales and others depending on the specific situation). We are happy to help collectors build a high-quality collection and, unfortunately, we are also familiar with disputes arising in connection with the sale of fakes and the illegal handling or even theft of works. We represent auction houses, galleries and contemporary artists in online and live auctions, contract law, sales and loans. We can clearly lay out the risks involved in collecting or investing in art and recommend appropriate solutions.
