Shook Senior Counsel Channah Norman and Partner Camila Tobón were featured in an article by Law Week Colorado, “Art Law, a Unique Practice at the Intersection of Law and Creativity.”
Earlier this year, Norman joined the firm and helped to expand Shook’s Art Law Practice. Prior to joining Shook she was general counsel for the U.S. Army Center of Military History.In the article, Norman discussed the categories of art law including includes insurance policies, any dispute arising from consignment agreements, art commissions, art financing, estate planning, sales contracts, frauds and forgeries.“You’re looking at copyright infringement, you’re looking at fair use, moral rights, the Visual Artists Rights Act, and specific issues relating to commissions and donations, who’s retaining the copyright or transferring the copyright,” said Norman.
“And then, more recently, there’s been a real intersection between AI and art law.”As director of Shook’s Privacy Compliance and AI Governance Task Forces, Tobón provides in-depth knowledge of data protection regulations worldwide to clients. “The Patent Office and the Copyright Office have both issued guidance on how they view AI generated work,” said Tobón. “It requires agencies to look at this issue and provide guidance so that people know — ‘Is this going to be protectable, or what do I need to do in order to protect it?’”
