About Us
Introducing The ALA
We are a global network of art lawyers representing and working for museums, galleries, auction houses, artists and cultural institutions, amongst others.
​
The ALA was formed in 2023 with a simple objective - to promote the study and practice of law in the context of the art world. Its membership is composed of established lawyers from the museum world, from the auction world and private practice.
