Mari-Claudia Jiménez
Spear’s Review
After spending nearly a decade steering Sotheby’s global business development and working on major transactions including the Macklowe and Fisher Landau collections, Mari-Claudia Jiménez knows art transactions inside out – from the ‘boardroom to the auction floor’.
At Withers, she has launched a novel art advisory service that integrates market strategy and legal counsel, offering clients a seamless, one-stop solution for negotiating and structuring high-value art transactions. Jiménez is not just an art lawyer or just an art adviser; instead, she leverages her dual perspective to ensure clients secure optimal terms and clarity in complex deals.
‘There’s something very unique about my particular type of advisory,’ she says. ‘It’s advisory on the art market itself, and I think that’s a notable distinction.’
