Due diligence

Our cultural assets & art team offer a comprehensive due diligence service for collectors and family offices planning to acquire works of art.

We provide legal due diligence investigations on the ownership, lawful export and provenance of the artwork, as well as on intellectual property connected with it. Clients have the added reassurance of knowing that we have access to the most highly regarded independent experts on authenticity and attribution.

Members of our team lecture frequently to the Appraisers Association of America, the American Society of Appraisers and the International Society of Appraisers (New York).

We have relied on Fine Art Wealth Management to provide services for art due diligence and for further information please consult their website at http://www.fineartwealthmgt.com.
