The law firm Withers has expanded its newly created United States art and advisory team in New York with two new hires. Frank Lord joins the practice as senior counsel, and Sarina Taylor becomes an associate. They will work within a group led by Mari-Claudia Jiménez, a former Sotheby's executive who joined the firm recently.
Frank Lord brings over twenty years of experience in art law, having operated his own practice and previously worked at Herrick Feinstein. His work involves advising collectors, museums, and auction houses on transactions, loans, and disputes. He has facilitated private sales to major institutions and managed numerous auction sales internationally. Mari-Claudia Jiménez highlighted his doctoral background in art history as a significant asset for understanding client needs.
Sarina Taylor, previously with Milbank, began her career as an art specialist at Christie's before becoming a lawyer. Jiménez stated that Taylor's practical experience within the art market aligns with the team's approach to providing legally grounded counsel.
