Art Lawyer Laurens Kasteleijn who has a law practice in Amsterdam and Hong Kong.
Ep.43 | In this last episode of 2022 I had the pleasure to talk again with Dutch art lawyer Laurens Kasteleijn. Laurens explained the implications of the anti money laundering regulations, the latest developments in crypto and NFT, and we talked about the apparent shift of art centres in London, Paris, Hong Kong and Seoul.
Laurens holds a master’s degree in corporate law from the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, studied in France and at the Tsinghua University in Beijing, China. Laurens has lectured on ‘Legal Issues in the Art World’ at the Sotheby’s Institute of Art in Hong Kong and in London, and writes frequently on this subject. He is the co-author of the Dutch chapter of the IBA Art, Cultural Institutions and Heritage Law Committee report.
In addition to holding the position of Chair of the Art and Law Association in the Netherlands, he is a member of the Royal Asian Art Society, committee member of the IPBA, member of PAIAM, legal committee member of the Art Identification Standard, and a contributor to the Responsible Art Market initiative in Switzerland. In 2021 he founded a new company ‘Kasteleijn Mediation & Arbitration’ that specialises in solving art disputes for which Laurens is a registered mediator with the Court of Arbitration of Art (CAfA) in The Hague.
