Create.
Protect.
Collaborate.
Strategic legal counsel for artists, galleries, labels, and creative companies who operate within networks of recurring relationships.
Creative Work Is Built In Relationships.
Your Lawyers Should Understand That.
Your gallery represents multiple artists whose work overlaps. Your label negotiates with producers who collaborate across your roster. Your museum depends on donor relationships that extend beyond exhibitions. You're not conducting isolated transactions—you're operating within creative ecosystems where the same people and institutions keep intersecting.
