PLI’s ART LAW in the “Wall Street Journal”

Check out this nice mention of PLI’s treatise, Art Law, in the “Wall Street Journal” here.  According to the article, courts are increasingly tasked with the burden of defining artistic ownership and meaning, thanks in large part to the “remarkable escalation of the public’s interest in art”, which in turn has led to ever increaseing financial implications.  And, as we all know, where there’s money, there’s litigation.

Long considered the gold standard in legal and tax guidance for visual art professionals and their attorneys, Art Law is now even more valuable to anyone involved in this complex, interconnected industry.

Yesterday, the United States Supreme Court issued an opinion on Marmet Health Care Center vs. Brown. In issuing the opinion, the Court reaffirmed its recent decisions about applying the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) to negligence and wrongful death actions when an arbitration clause is present in the care agreement. In Marmet Health Care Center vs. Brown, the Court concluded that when extant, such agreements can be enforced.
