Lexters represents the Romania Government in a cross-border art law dispute involving a painting attributed to El Greco, with proceedings linked to Christie’s and the Southern District of New York.
The case is being followed closely because it brings together several issues that are increasingly relevant in international art law, including ownership, provenance, jurisdiction and the legal protection of culturally significant assets.
This dispute reflects the growing relevance of art law in matters that sit at the intersection of cross-border litigation, cultural heritage, market practice and strategic legal positioning. It also highlights the importance of legal counsel able to act in proceedings involving multiple jurisdictions, major market participants and high-value artworks.
For Lexters, this mandate is a strong example of the type of work we handle in complex international disputes, particularly where litigation strategy, public interest and asset protection come together.
