The art and cultural heritage sector is reinventing itself to respond to the demands of a global world. We help our clients enhance their impact and influence, navigate complex issues, and manage risk. Our clients resolve challenges informed by our substantive and practical knowledge of the cultural heritage sector and entrepreneurial approach to problem solving.

We help our clients pursue their preservation missions, focus on long-term sustainability, create practical and efficient business plans, diversify revenue streams, leverage technology, and build lasting partnerships. With deep experience in the principles and practice of social enterprise and cross-sector collaboration, we help our clients devise cutting-edge solutions to today’s challenges.

We advocate for our clients at the federal, state and local levels. With strong relationships on both sides of the aisle and experience working in the White House, the State Department, on Capitol Hill, and in state legislative offices, we make sure our clients’ voices are heard. Our experience in political campaigning—from speechwriting to fundraising to direct mail—and our substantive knowledge in the field give our clients the advantage.

Our command of laws governing cultural property protection, museum governance and tribal issues sets us apart. Working with clients in the public, private and nonprofit sectors, we provide counsel on NAGPRA, Section 106, UNESCO Conventions, and other key domestic and international art and cultural heritage laws. We also have broad experience in corporate, regulatory, tax and litigation practice to address critical business concerns. We work with our clients to manage risk proactively, address governance issues, and resolve disputes efficiently.
