Services and offer on Art Law
Securing art transactions legally
Guarantees of authenticity, provenance checks, warranty issues, export and import requirements as well as tax and civil law aspects determine the legal framework for art transactions. They have a decisive influence on decisions.
We support you throughout the entire transaction process - from the initial legal assessment and structuring to the final transfer of the work. We analyze the contractual constellation, review the relevant documents and ensure that your art transaction is handled in compliance with all legal requirements, industry standards and commercial interests. Our approach combines diligence, transparency and efficiency so that you can concentrate on the essentials: the successful completion of your art transaction.
Secure contracts for valuable works
Works of art - whether paintings, sculptures, photographs, installations or digital art forms such as NFTs - require a tailor-made contract that takes into account the special features of the respective object and the market. In addition to traditional sales law aspects, any property rights, licensing models, loan conditions or the question of withdrawal options play a central role.
We take care of the comprehensive legal Due diligence for you:
- Verification of certificates of authenticity and expert opinions
- Analysis of provenance and ownership history
- Evaluation of possible restitution or restitution claims
- Clarification of security interests, liens or encumbrances
- Assessment of export law and cultural property protection regulations
Our expertise helps you to identify and avoid legal risks at an early stage - regardless of whether you are a buyer looking to acquire a valuable asset or a seller seeking to protect your interests. We draft and negotiate contracts that are tailored to your objectives and accompany the entire transaction through to the legally compliant handover.
