Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts has organized an interesting panel presentation and discussion on October 14, 2014 that will be held at Herrick, Feinstein LLP in New York. From the event description (online registration available):
Please join Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts and Herrick, Feinstein LLP for a lively panel discussion on the recent ban on ivory sales pursuant to federal regulations and New York State law. Speakers will explore how this change in the legal landscape impacts the trade, purchase and transport of items containing ivory, including artworks, antiques and musical instruments.
This is no small thing, both for the visual arts and musical instruments (think, for example: ivory in stringed instrument bows). Speakers include Frank Lord of Herrick, Feinstein LLP; David Freudenthal, Director of Government Relations, Carnegie Hall; Craig Hoover, Chief, Wildlife Trade & Conversation Branch, US Fish and Wildlife Service; Lark Mason, President, iGavel; Michael McCullough, Partner, Pearlstein and McCullough; and Hartley Waltman, Senior Counsel, Art Business, Christie's.
Hope to see you there.
