Art rewards. Art challenges.

Creating and bringing works of art to their audience requires an appreciation for both the beauty and the business of art.

Art business usually means small business. But even small businesses face disputes as complex as any Fortune 500 company’s - and perhaps more crucial to your survival.

Art law.

Whether as an artist, gallery, auction house, investor, collector, or casual buyer or seller, you need access to the same excellence in litigation avoidance, dispute resolution, litigation, arbitration and trial advocacy.

When the uniqueness and importance of art leads to disputes over ownership, copyright, authenticity, a transaction or loss, there is a place to turn for the best representation - without paying the unrealistic hourly fees charged by big firms.
