Art Finance & Law : Risks, Rules, and Opportunities in Investments in Art, February 12, 2016 in Paris

Posted by Nicholas O'Donnell on January 14, 2016 at 4:06 PM

The Geneva-based Foundation for Art Law (Fondation pour le Droit de l’Art/FDA) is organizing next month the latest in its series of events under the rubric “Art Finance & Law.” The conference is entitled “Art Finance & Law : Risks, Rules, and Opportunities in Investments in Art” (Art Finance & Law : Risques, règles et opportunités dans les investissements en art).  It will take place in Paris on February 12, 2016 at AXA Insurance, Hôtel de Vaupalière, 25 Avenue Matignon, from 14:00-18:00, in collaboration with l’Association d’Avocats  Conseils d’Enterprises (ACE, or the Assocation of Business Counsel Attorneys).

I attended the FDA event in Geneva last January, and it was one of the best such events I have gone to, without exaggeration. So while I regrettably cannot attend the latest symposium, I recommend it highly.  The program (which confirms a roster of fantastic and engaging speakers) and registration can be found here and here.  It can also be found online here.  Below is my (poor) translation of the French program:
