Our cultural assets and art team advise art collectors and families with extensive art holdings worldwide, focusing exclusively on fine art, the decorative arts, antiques and heritage property.
We provide a global service from our offices in London, New York, Hong Kong, Geneva and Milan. Our lawyers are not simply lawyers, they are authors, former general counsel of the main auction houses, and hold public appointment so they have in-depth understanding of the international art world.
Private individuals come to us for assistance in a wide range of art-related matters, including dispute resolution and cross-border transactions involving art. We are highly experienced at designing structures to hold art collections around the world taking into account our clients' tax planning strategies.

We work with collectors and family offices to set up art-holding trusts and charitable foundations, and advise them in regard to other philanthropic activities. We can also hep with regulatory issues such as import/export and customs regulations, and negotiate loans secured by art anywhere in the world.
Our clients are based all over the world, and have many international assets. They include those with landed estates and inherited collections as well as entrepreneurs and those building their collections from scratch. Some are high profile, others are extremely discrete. We also represent family offices in a number of countries.
