Annabelle Gauberti
Spear’s Review
Annabelle Gauberti founded Crefovi, a one-stop-shop law firm focusing on advising the creative industries, in 2012. Crefovi represents artists, artists’ estates, foundations, galleries, collectors and museums.
Gauberti and her team are often busy with cases where art market professionals have taken advantage of HNWs or other types of art collectors. ‘A hobby or charitable activity can turn into a nightmare,’ she explains. ‘Get a good lawyer to review the purchase or auction agreement as well as the terms and conditions of sale and transport; check the work’s provenance; go and see the piece before you buy it. Hold it in your hands and look at it very closely.’
