The Institute of Art & Law will hold an in-person seminar in London on 27th September entitled “Resolving Restitution Disputes: Process, reconciliation and creativity”, run in partnership with Keystone Law.

• A panel focusing on resolving Nazi-looted art claims, featuring Dr Evelien Campfens (University of Leiden), Anne Webber (Commission for Looted Art in Europe) and Gregor Kleinknecht (Keystone Law)
• A panel focusing on resolving disputes over colonial-era looting and antiquities, featuring Dr Jacques Schuhmacher (V&A Museum), Dr Frezer Haile (Project Associates) and James Ratcliffe (Art Loss Register).
The event will take place at The Law Society’s Hall, Chancery Lane, London and will be followed by a drinks reception sponsored by Keystone Law. Cost to attend: £144.00, incl. VAT (50% off for IAL/UKRG members). Spaces are limited, so please reserve your spot soon.
