At Farrer & Co, Adrian Parkhouse and Isabel Paintin jointly lead a team filled with a ‘plethora of first-class lawyers’. This ’great firm is completely immersed in the sector’, and covers issues as diverse as art-related litigation and art financing, through to advising on heritage property, offers-in-lieu, and philanthropy. It also acts for leading museums and galleries in the UK, as well as numerous major charities. Parkhouse acts for dealers and private and public galleries, as well as individuals in disputes concerning art and heritage property. Paintin has particular expertise in art transactions, and also advises on issues such as heritage taxation. William Charrington was promoted to the partnership in May 2024, and he is frequently involved in cases dealing with allegations of misrepresentation over provenance, authenticity, false attribution, theft, copyright infringement, and the misuse of trade marks. Bethan Waters is another name to note.
