Art & Antiquities
Our capabilities in this field started with the personal interest of our Head of Chambers in the collection of art and antiques.
With the emergence of our Private Wealth practice, we extended our experiences to clients who were building up an investment grade collection of art, antiques or even jewelry. Over time, we were able to provide a full spectrum of services which today encompasses- the acquisition, finance, import and export of art pieces and other works with the accompanying insurance advisory services. We have been able to facilitate acquisitions even from well regulated jurisdictions and to have negotiated and met the requirements for the export and relocation of works abroad.
Aside from acquisitions we have advised clients upon investment structuring which allows for investor participation into larger acquisitions, placements, securitization and divestments for capital gain. While our clients are principally buyers and investors we have had occasion to render advise to artists and creators of works in the dealings with galleries and agents.
This is an interesting segment of our practice, while it employs many of the core aspects of our practice it has never ceased to add a dash of colour and excitement to life.
