Pryor Cashman LLP

Partner

Megan Noh co-chairs Pryor Cashman’s Art Law Group. With over 20 years of combined art market experience, developed through in-house legal and business positions in the auction industry and private practice representation of collectors, artists, and other stakeholders in both the traditional media and digital art sectors, Megan is sought after for her extensive knowledge and effective advocacy.

Megan’s practice is uniquely holistic in its representation of members of almost every segment of the art market, and she is known for her ability to negotiate a transaction or advise on a dispute based on experience with both sides of its key issues, maintaining a commercial, results-oriented approach.

One industry source from Chambers 2025 said, “Megan has comprehensive knowledge of the art world: the people, the culture, the landscape, how it has evolved and where it is going. She loves art, law and art law." With another source noting that she is “a superstar. I could not ask for a better strategic thinker as my counsel.” Past reviewers have noted that she is “a leader around art market-related legal matters. Her deep knowledge about the industry makes her a very strong adviser,” with sources saying that she is “extremely responsive and confident, and explains things in great clarity to clients,” and that she “has been on both sides of the transactions, so she is able to understand what the stress points will be for both parties and put our best foot forward using those experiences.” Another source reports that Megan is “one of the most responsive, professional, diligent and thorough attorneys whom I've worked with in my career.”

Chambers has further noted Megan’s “dedication and passion to this space,” as exemplified by her current role as Chair of the Artists Rights Subcommittee of the New York City Bar Association’s Art Law Committee. She has also served on the boards of a variety of domestic and international professional arts organizations, and is deeply engaged with the Vera List Center for Art and Politics, a research center and public forum for social justice and art at the New School, for whom she serves as Vice Chair of the Advisory Board’s Executive Committee, and also supports a variety of initiatives specifically within the LGBTQIA+ and AAPI/API communities.
