Law is Art!
This project’s target, which our lawyers always strive to translate into action, is the desire to support progress and experimentation in the artistic field, to promote creativity in all its forms and expressions, even outside the traditional circuits, and above all to acknowledge and appreciate art as an experience that is constantly enriching at both the individual and collective level.
Law is Art! project can rely on an interdisciplinary team of professionals, led by the accomplished project manager Maria Grazia Longoni Palmigiano, a contemporary art collector and founding member of the ACACIA Association. This specialised team at LCA can offer qualified and all-encompassing consultancy services in art law and its various branches (contractual, logistical, insurance, criminal law, as well as copyright, advertising, litigation, cultural patronage).
