Practicing law is an art, and as South Florida’s vibrant art scene has grown, so has Harper Meyer’s Art Law Practice Group.
At Harper Meyer, we recognize that the world is not black or white, so why would your legal matter be? Whether you are involved in a transaction or a dispute, or need some specialized advice concerning art, antiquities, collectibles, and other “non-cash passion assets,” Harper Meyer’s multi-disciplinary team of transactional lawyers, litigators, experts, and advisors is prepared to handle your art law needs. We approach every issue, every business, and every client as an individual – just like each individual work of art – and take pride in understanding the details. Our attorneys have honed their skills and are ready to put their experience, creativity, and technical ability to work on your legal matters.
Unlike other assets, art cannot be commingled in a bank account, cannot be divided in parts, and cannot simply be replaced for something of equal value. By definition, art is unique and begs for unique solutions. It also provides buyers, sellers, brokers, galleries, museums, investors, and collectors with unique opportunities. Harper Meyer also knows the art community. With experience working with non-profits, for-profits, start-ups, established businesses, and individuals, Harper Meyer understands the specific needs of our clients and is always looking for the best ways to support our clients’ interests. We work with leading industry experts and have built strong and vibrant relationships across the country and world, which we can call upon when needed by our clients.
