NY Art Law Associate

The New York office of Loeb & Loeb’s market-leading Art Law group is seeking a highly motivated associate with 6–7 years of experience to join our dynamic team. This is a unique opportunity for a transaction-driven attorney—ideally with a corporate background—who thrives on complex, high-value deal work and is eager to apply their skills in the fast-evolving global art market.

We represent a prestigious roster of clients, including ultra-high-net-worth collectors, top-tier galleries, and art-backed lenders, in sophisticated transactions often exceeding $100M. The work is technically challenging and rarely routine spanning the unique facets of the global art industry.

Key Responsibilities:

• Draft, review, negotiate, and manage a wide range of transactional documents, including sale agreements, consignment agreements, auction agreements, loan agreements, deeds of gift, etc.

• Provide nuanced legal analysis across intersecting areas such as tax, intellectual property, cultural property, customs, endangered species regulations, and AML/KYC compliance.

Ideal Candidate:

• JD required

• Admitted to the New York State Bar (active and in good standing)

• 6–7 years of experience at a reputable law firm, with a focus on corporate or transactional law

• Exceptional drafting, analytical, and organizational skills—with speed and precision under tight deadlines

• A genuine passion for deal-making and a curiosity about the art world (prior art law experience is a plus, but not required)

• Proven ability to manage multiple high-stakes matters simultaneously in a fast-paced environment

• Team-oriented, with strong communication skills and a collaborative spirit

This role offers significant growth potential and direct mentorship from leading practitioners. While the practice demands excellence, it maintains a strong team culture.

If you love transactions, thrive on complexity, and are looking for a fresh, intellectually rich challenge in a globally recognized practice, we’d love to hear from you. This position’s in-office requirement is 5 days per week, and after six months of employment, associates may work remotely on Fridays.

The expected salary range for this position is $285,000.00 – $325,000.00 annually (commensurate with experience).  This range could fluctuate based on varying factors.

Interested candidates should submit their resume, law school transcript, and a cover letter explaining your interest in the role.
