Representing Emerging Artists: Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts and Private Practice Perspectives

Join the Harvard Art Law Organization for a moderated conversation with Dan Weiner, Head of Litigation and Art Law Practice Co-Chair for Hughes Hubbard & Reed, and Amy Lehman, Director of Legal Services at Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts. Together, they will explore how pro bono and private practice lawyers navigate the distinct challenges of representing artists, non-profits, and cultural institutions. Covering issues from contract negotiation and IP ownership to power imbalances with galleries and commercial partners, the discussion will examine how legal services can go beyond resolving discrete disputes to build long-term legal literacy and protect artists’ legacies. Lunch will be provided.
