    What this session will cover

    London is singularly well equipped to deal with international art disputes – one of the capitals of the art market; a key base for international auctioneers; galleries and institutions: and world class experts in art and antiquities. It also has a renowned and well respected judiciary and other formal or informal forums for the resolution of disputes. Dealers and collectors value discretion and London is emerging as a leading ADR centre with art disputes frequently being resolved confidentially via arbitration and mediation.

    Our panel of art lawyers will discuss their experiences of a wide range of disputes (including provenance, authenticity, restitution), current legacy and repatriation issues, and London’s offering in resolving art and cultural property disputes.
