One of the firm’s associates, Claudia S. Quiñones Vilá, recently had an article published in the peer-reviewed journal Santander Art and Culture Law Review. Titled “Cultural Heritage in the European Union: An Outsider’s Perspective,” this article explores recent trends and developments in cultural property law within the EU, focusing particularly on Italy and the United Kingdom. It also delineates the increasingly important role of private parties and stakeholders in heritage protection, as well as the need for holistic and specialized approaches to related problems. In essence, the article traces the ongoing shift towards cultural property as a unique body of law encompassing a wide variety of elements, including the art market and the digital/creative industries, which are in turn impacted by global and national economic, social, historical, and political forces. Utilizing a greater range of resources – both people-based and otherwise – to address outcomes rather than outputs of existing policy regulations leads to creative solutions and fruitful partnerships.

Congratulations Claudia, we are proud of your research on international cultural heritage law issues! You can find a link to the article here: http://www.ejournals.eu/SAACLR/2018/2-2018/art/14278/
