How We Can Assist
Please briefly describe your matter when contacting us. If possible, let us know:
- what the matter concerns,
- which parties are involved,
- whether the artwork or transaction has a connection to Germany,
- whether any deadlines or court proceedings are pending, and
- which relevant documents are available.
For an initial assessment, it is usually sufficient to provide the most important documents, such as a purchase agreement, auction catalogue, correspondence, provenance documentation, expert report or restitution request.
If your matter is urgent or subject to a deadline, please indicate this clearly in your message.
International Clients
You do not need to be based in Germany to instruct us.
We regularly advise and represent international clients who require a German art lawyer in connection with transactions, disputes or proceedings in Germany.
Consultations and correspondence can be conducted entirely in English. Meetings can take place by telephone or video conference, so in most cases an initial meeting in Germany is not necessary.
Where a matter involves several jurisdictions, we can coordinate with specialised foreign lawyers, provenance researchers, art historians and other experts as required.
