Farrer & Co

Farrer & Co‘s practice is well-placed to assist its broad-ranging clientele with the full scope of art issues. Its workload includes acting as finance counsel in domestic and cross-jurisdictional contexts, advising on the contractual and security documentation aspects of significant sales and assisting clients through acquisitions. William Charrington has extensive experience handling high-value contentious matters, such as commercial contract disputes, fraud and IP litigation, for clients ranging from high-net-worth individuals to corporates and institutions. Isabel Kerber is experienced in handling import, export, taxation and heritage matters, while Paul Jones has a specialism in contract and IP-related work and advises national museums, galleries and cultural organisations. Bethan Waters is also noteworthy for her ’invaluable’ experience in financing cases, including securing loans against art portfolios, and advising on art loans and complex debt arrangements. The four oversee the team collectively. Adrian Parkhouse is a key practitioner who handles the plethora of art and heritage disputes. Genna Morgan has a transactional specialism.
