Overview
At Juris & Nova Chambers, our Art Law practice provides legal assistance to artists, collectors, galleries, museums, auction houses, cultural institutions, and other stakeholders involved in the creation, ownership, sale, and preservation of artworks. We advise clients on the legal and commercial issues that arise throughout the lifecycle of an artwork.
Our practice covers the sale and purchase of artworks, provenance and authenticity, ownership disputes, artist agreements, gallery arrangements, licensing, copyright, moral rights, and intellectual property protection. We also assist clients with consignments, exhibitions, loans, commissions, and other transactions involving artworks and cultural property.
We advise on disputes involving authenticity, ownership, unauthorised reproduction, infringement, misrepresentation, and contractual obligations. Where disputes arise, we assist clients through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and appropriate court proceedings.
Our approach combines legal analysis with an understanding of the commercial and cultural value of art. Whether the matter concerns an artwork transaction, intellectual property right, authenticity issue, ownership dispute, or gallery or artist agreement, Juris & Nova Chambers provides practical and focused legal support tailored to the circumstances of each client.
