Each engagement is structured privately and with consideration for the client’s objectives, scope of work, and level of involvement. Terms are established in advance and tailored to the nature of the relationship.
Project Advisory: For defined assignments, including collection strategy, market research, acquisitions within a particular category, collection oversight, and specialized advisory matters. A project fee is agreed upon at the outset in accordance with the scope and complexity of the engagement.
Transaction Advisory: For acquisitions, dispositions, and artist commissions, advisory compensation is structured in connection with the successful execution of the transaction. Counsel extends from initial research and opportunity assessment through negotiation and completion.
Private Retainer : For clients seeking an ongoing advisory relationship, retainers provide continuing access to discreet counsel, market intelligence, collection management, strategic planning, and acquisition and disposition opportunities. These relationships are designed to provide continuity, responsiveness, and a highly personalized level of service.
All engagements are conducted with discretion and independence, with counsel guided exclusively by the client’s interests, objectives, and collecting priorities.
Client relationships are typically structured as:
- Annual retainers
- Acquisition/Sale-based relationships
- Long-term collection strategy relationships
- Market valuation/provenance research
