Art Law Legal advice for the art market

Art Law is an interdisciplinary field of law that combines numerous specialist areas - from sales law, copyright and personal rights to tax and inheritance law and the protection of cultural assets. Dealing with works of art, their creation, provenance, use or exploitation regularly raises complex issues that require a deep understanding of the industry as well as precise legal analysis.

Legal protection for valuable cultural assets  

Art is more than just a cultural asset - it is an expression of social and historical developments, an investment object and an economic success factor at the same time. The purchase, sale, digitization and exploitation of works of art therefore pose high and increasingly complex legal challenges for artists, collectors, galleries, auction houses, foundations, museums and other art-related institutions. Especially in an international market characterized by rapidly changing legal frameworks, new technologies and growing compliance expectations, professional legal advice is becoming increasingly important.
