FAQs

With what sort of clients do you work?

In our visual art practice, we advise galleries, artists, designers, photographers, artist studios, artist estates and foundations, individual collectors, institutional collectors, scholars, curators, art advisors, and appraisers.  We also work with brands, startups, property developers and other businesses on their legal questions related to art and working with artists and other creatives. 

In our dispute resolution practice, we handle matters not only involving fine art clients, but clients in other industries. We have assisted clients in the advertising, film, publishing, design, television, fashion, finance, legal, and other media industries litigate, arbitrate, and otherwise resolve their disputes with third parties. We handle complex disputes involving copyright infringement, right of publicity, breach of contract, negligence, fraud, and breach of fiduciary duty claims.

What sort of matters do you handle?

We handle dispute resolution matters, including pre-litigation, litigation, arbitration, and mediation.  We also advise on various transactions involving art, artists, and other creatives.  We advise clients on artists’ rights protection, and provide general counseling and advocacy for businesses in the fine art sector, including advising on the day-to-day legal issues that impact their business.

Does your firm offer alternative billing arrangements?

Typically, our firm bills our clients on an hourly basis, but we also are able to offer alternative billing arrangements on certain, select types of matters at our discretion.
