New Sullivan & Worcester LLP Advisory on Fine Arts Consignment

Posted in Consignment, Legislation

Sullivan & Worcester LLP’s Art and Museum Law Group has published an important new client advisory about Massachusetts’s fine arts consignment statute, G.L. c. 104A.  With the recent decision in Plumb v. Casey et al. by the Supreme Judicial Court, it is more important than ever to understand what the law requires and provides.  Certainly if a transaction has any connection to Massachusetts (whether through buyer, seller, agent, estate executor, etc.), or even if it is just in a state with a consignment statute whose courts may look to this opinion for guidance, we hope our readers will find the advisory helpful.
