About the webinar:

Due Diligence is a means to uncover risks. Being able to identify, and resolve or minimise transaction risks in the art market is sometimes legally required but always commercially helpful. In this webinar, Rena Neville (FCS Compliance) and Paula Trommel (FCS Compliance), have partnered with James Ratcliffe (Art Loss Register), to discuss the risks associated with both Customer and Object Due Diligence; and importantly give tips on how to uncover and resolve risks, helping to avoid criminal liability. (Learn more about your hosts here.)
