Withers Worldwide

Our team assists institutional art collectors on their collecting activities and matters affecting the value of those collections.
Collectors may be buying and selling of works of art, raising capital or loaning artworks to museums around the world. We help structure and document the transaction.

With extensive tax knowledge, we can help clients reduce the impact of taxation on cross-border movements of art, and counsel them on the best ways of structuring their collection as part of a global tax planning strategy.

When art is subject to a claim, be it an issue of ownership or authenticity, or a World War II looting claim, we can help protect it.

We also enable clients to recover their art when it is stolen. Other aspects of our service include advice on import and export regulations, copyright and the resale right, and insurance issues.
