Art market law

For several years now UGGC & Associés has been developing its art law practice. The firm’s art lawyers act as consultants for museums, auction houses or private collectors, handling acquisition, lease, loan, insurance or management transactions for works of art and cultural property.

UGGC & Associés is involved in negotiating and drafting agreements and contracts concerning works of art and cultural properties: exhibition or event contracts, private and public international law governing loans of works of art, art market taxation, copyrights…

The firm’s lawyers are also called upon to consult in cases relating to the inheritance of private collections, and in particular in dealing with the relevant administrative bodies.

UGGC & Associés has handled major cases concerning ownership or origin of works of art, as well as dealing with large inheritance disputes and art market litigations (classification, restriction of movement, copyrights).
