Buying and
selling art is a business of passion. But that passion has never seemed so
fraught with risk. Money laundering, criminal sanctions, regulatory compliance,
charges to tax, corporate governance issues, the threat of cyber attack, online
fraud, disputed attribution, question marks over title, and forgery on an
industrial scale - all are variously and increasingly interwoven with the
day-to-day challenges posed by borderless commerce, big data and globalised
criminality. Make one false move, and the price can be high. Businesses,
reputations and livelihoods are on the line.
As announced at
the Art Business Conference on 1 September 2016, this short series of half-day
seminars brings together experienced specialists in their respective fields to
address commercial, compliance and cyber risks. The aim of each seminar is to
bring together senior art market professionals, and to promote discussion
around identifying the risks, and responsible strategies for mitigating and
resolving them.
Each seminar
takes place at the offices of K&L Gates,
overlooking St Paul’s Cathedral. The seminar will commence with breakfast
networking and registration at 9.15 and will include a sandwich lunch.
The second
seminar is on “Criminal and Compliance Risk.” It takes place on
7th February 2017. Speakers confirmed so far, and topics under discussion will
include:
· Professional codes of ethics,
combatting the illicit trade in art and antiquities, and new regulatory
challenges on the horizon (Professor Janet Ulph, Leicester Law
School, University of Leicester; Dr Sophie Vigneron, Kent Law School, University of Kent;
and Ivan Macquisten, art market advisor, campaigner and lobbyist)
· Risks associated with anti-money
laundering and Proceeds of Crime Act offences, and their mitigation (Sasi-Kanth Mallela, Special Counsel, K&L Gates; and Richard Abbey, Partner, Ernst & Young Fraud
Investigation and Dispute Services)
· Keeping track of lost and stolen
artworks and antiquities: some challenges and opportunities (Ariane Moser, Chief Operating Officer, Artive Inc.
and James Ratcliffe, Director of Recoveries & General
Counsel, Art Loss Register, in conversation with Sean Kelsey, Senior Associate, K&L Gates)
