Practice Areas of Expertise
  The Hoffman Law Firm is a boutique practice which offers wide-ranging specialist advice to a variety of prominent private, institutional and commercial clients as well as all forms of civil litigation, including defense and prosecution of lawsuits.

We counsel clients both in the United States and abroad on a wide range of issues covering non-patent intellectual property law, and related subjects including copyright and artist’s rights, the Internet, rights of privacy and publicity. We also advise on respecting trademark and licensing, publishing, advertising, the setting up and managing of artist’s trusts and estates, international art and heritage issues, TV and film productions, from legal entity formation to rights acquisition to distribution.

In addition, as one of the preeminent art lawyers in the United States, Ms. Hoffman offers dispute resolution services for art-related and cultural heritage disputes through Art Dispute Resolution (ADR), a new practice which seeks to facilitate mediation of art law disputes, primarily international disputes, with emphasis on disputes dealing with provenance, restitution and return, authenticity and other such issues.

Adopting the motto small is better, the Hoffman Law Firm offers an alternative to the mega law firm trend. The Hoffman Law Firm works with a network of carefully selected leading practitioners worldwide in areas related and complementary to the firm’s areas of expertise. Acting as supervising or coordinating attorney, the Firm also provides hands on personal contact and is able to select the leading experts in a field based on a wide circle of contacts.
