Industry Groups

Arts & Culture Law

The arts and culture sector brings together artists, museums, galleries, collectors, festivals, and creative institutions, all operating within distinct legal and regulatory frameworks. Art transactions, intellectual property protection, cultural heritage rules, and the cross-border movement of artworks require careful legal structuring. At the same time, digital technologies, new media, and growing cultural markets continue to shape how creative work is produced, shared, and financed.

Legal Support for the Creative Sector

We advise clients on a wide range of matters affecting the arts and culture industry, including art sales and acquisitions, commissions, consignment agreements, and the legal frameworks governing private and public collections. Our work also includes intellectual property protection, moral rights, licensing arrangements, and contractual matters for creators, performers, and producers in film, music, literature, and the performing arts.

Supporting Cultural Projects Across Borders

Working with clients across Southeast Europe, we assist with cross-border cultural property rules, sponsorship and funding arrangements, and the structuring of foundations, trusts, and philanthropic initiatives. Our team combines knowledge of intellectual property, media, IT, commerce, and tax to support both traditional cultural institutions and emerging digital creative sectors.

Our engagement with the creative community also includes educational initiatives, such as The Law of Creativity – IP Guide for Young Adults, designed to help emerging artists better understand and protect their work.
