Colleagues across all departments are truly passionate about what they do and it is constantly inspiring to work with industry leaders across all segments of the business.

Why This Role Matters

The Senior/ Corporate Counsel will be based in New York as a member of the Americas Legal & Risk Department and will manage a broad range of matters relating to auctions, private sales and the company as a whole. She/he/they will serve as a key legal and business partner – handling the drafting and negotiation of consignment and other art-related agreements and also supporting the resolution of provenance, authenticity, and title issues. The Senior/Corporate Counsel also will work within a global team of attorneys and other professionals to develop best practices, policies, and procedures and to deliver high-quality legal and risk management services to the company. Whether the ultimate hire is for the Senior or Corporate Counsel position, and the corresponding compensation, will depend on the level of experience of the successful candidate.
