We specialise in litigation relating to cultural and heritage property, advising and representing dealers, collectors and various private and public institutions in a variety of cultural property related disputes.
As a member of the Parliamentary Working Group on Human Remains, Hetty Gleave contributed to its report on the status, care, treatment and repatriation of remains in museums and galleries in November 2003.
In November 2011 she was appointed as a member of the Treasure Valuation Committee which advises the Secretary of State on the fair market value of declared Treasure finds from England, Wales and Northern Ireland which museums wish to acquire.
Our representation on the Treasure Valuation Committee means that the team is able to bring a unique knowledge of the law and practice in these areas to bear on the advice which it offers owners of art and antiquities.
