Art & Cultural Law

At Gregoriou Law Offices, we offer a distinctive blend of deep art world insight and rigorous legal expertise. Our practice is uniquely positioned to serve a broad spectrum of clients involved in the art and cultural sectors, ranging from artists and their estates to global auction houses, collectors, galleries, valuers, trustees, and leading financial institutions.



We provide tailored legal counsel across the entire lifecycle of art ownership, trade, and stewardship. Our clients turn to us for strategic advice on matters including:


  • Art market transactions and commercial structuring
  • Heritage property and cultural asset tax planning
  • Cross-border acquisitions and sales
  • Disputes involving artwork authenticity, provenance, or restitution
  • Divorce and estate-related division of art and luxury assets
  • Negotiations and litigation with galleries, museums, and dealers
  • Property issues concerning artists, galleries, and institutions
  • Trust and estate planning for art collections


We understand that art is not just a commodity, it is cultural capital, legacy, and identity. That’s why our work goes beyond compliance and contracts: we bring a nuanced understanding of the art ecosystem and its challenges, from reputation risk to international regulation.

Anti-Money Laundering & Art Market Integrity


As part of our commitment to legal leadership in this space, we are proud to have co-authored a landmark study on Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Regulations and the Art Market, in partnership with the Center for Art Law. This in-depth guide examines the post-5th AML Directive legal framework, with a specific focus on Greece’s evolving position.
