The art market has never been so broad both in terms of economic value and geographical scope, forcing collectors, artists and intermediaries (dealers, gallery owners) to navigate a maze of different regulations and laws.

The Art Lawyers network is the offshoot of an idea of a group of professionals with a passion for art and its legal implications, active for many years at the contemporary arts hubs of Turin and Venice, i.e. that of providing public and private cultural institutions, galleries, auction houses and artists, aficionados and collectors with professional legal assistance and counselling in and out of court, both nationally and internationally.

The members of the Art Lawyers network, experienced practitioners in this particular field of art law deal with: sector-specific contracts; assistance in commercial transactions; litigation – also criminal – concerning the authenticity of artworks and protection of copyright, authors’ resale rights, regulations concerning assets of historical and artistic interest.

Art Lawyers also represents a systematic approach to work, the opportunity and experimentation of an attentive overview of the legal problems tied to the world of modern and contemporary art.  Its professional practitioners operate mainly in Turin and Venice and have offices in Milan and Rome and also in Paris and Malta.
