Art Law

We often handle prominent and high-profile cases concerning authenticity, art restitution, ownership issues, heritage issues and auction conflicts. You can follow the latest developments in our art law practice via our Art Law blog. Our substantive involvement is reinforced by (current or former) board work at various cultural institutions in the Netherlands, including the Museum Het Rembrandthuis, the Amsterdam Sinfonietta Orchestra, the Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds, Flemish cultural house De Brakke Grond and the Holland Festival.

The following topics, among others, are part of our services:

Restitution of looted art at Dutch and foreign restitution commissions
Issues concerning authenticity, valuation and (provenance) research of works of art
Advice and dispute resolution regarding the sale of works of art and ownership issues
Cultural heritage
Conflicts regarding illegal import and export
Advice and dispute resolution regarding donations of works of art
Cultural Governance Code, foundations, ANBI status and cultural management work
