Association of Art Lawyers Round Table Discussion - The Law of Agency

We are pleased to announce the fourth of the Art Lawyers Association's new Roundtable Discussions.

The Roundtable Discussions series consists of small, closed-door discussions on topical issues in the art law world. We invite those with interest and knowledge in each of the specific issues to sign up quickly, as places are strictly limited. For ALA Members only, with priority given to Full Members.

This fourth Roundtable Discussion will be on the law of agency and its impact on art transactions. It will take place on 18 June at 11am to noon, kindly hosted by Boodle Hatfield LLP at 240 Blackfriars Rd, London SE1 8NW, and will be chaired by Senior Associate Fred Clark. Please RSVP as soon as possible as places are limited.

The law of agency has become increasingly important in major international art deals, which can involve numerous layers of agents working to get a transaction done. But when exactly does an agency relationship arise? And what obligations do agents have around confidentiality and negotiating in the best interests of their principle? Join us for an exclusive Art Lawyers Association roundtable where we will discuss the topic, and the implications for the art world going forward.

We would like these roundtables to be lively and engaging, so we ask that all those who sign up have a specific interest in the topic and are willing to actively participate in the discussion. In order to stimulate a free flowing conversation, we discourage note-taking and the event will follow Chatham House rules.
