Noah Charney Interviews Three Leading Art Lawyers: Ian De Freitas, Howard Spiegler and Fabio Moretti

The Journal of Art Crime interviewed three of the UIA's Commission Presidents and art lawyers, Ian de Freitas (Intellectual Property), Howard Spiegler (Art Law), and Fabio Moretti (Fashion Law). They discussed art law, forgery, intellectual property, and fashion law, with each responding to questions related to their personal specialisations.

Ian de Freitas practices in the UK with Berwin Leighton Paisner and specialises in intellectual property law. Howard Spiegler practices in the US with Herrick, Feinstein, and is an expert in art reparation and repatriation, particularly with regard to art that changed hands during the Second World War and its aftermath. Fabio Moretti practices in Italy with Moretti & Burgio, and is an expert in fashion law.
 

All three will be speaking at the UIA congress held in Florence on October 31, 2014.
