Withers

Specialized international art law counsel for collectors, galleries, museums, cultural institutions, estates, and major collections. Withers centers its art practice on legal work involving transactions, disputes, and collection-related strategy, with dedicated emphasis on buying and selling art, art litigation, and museum and exhibition matters.

Its practice includes cross-border transactions, tax-related issues, consignment and agency agreements, ownership and restitution claims, authenticity disputes, and fraud, theft, loss, or damage matters. The firm also advises museums and cultural institutions on governance, loans, gifts, fundraising, licensing, and exhibition-related legal issues.

Withers has a New York office and a broader international platform, making it particularly relevant for art matters that cross jurisdictions or combine market, institutional, and collection-planning concerns.
