Art & Cultural Property software built around the dates, records and paperwork of the work
An art dispute is a question of title: who owned the work, when and how it moved. Claims depend on dates that are often decades old, on loans that carry immunity and on a seizure that can happen at a border. The workspace keeps the provenance chain and the loans, consignments and insurance around it.
Dates it keeps for you
Each of these is counted from a date your team types, placed in the matter calendar, and confirmed by the responsible attorney.
Title and restitution claims
Limitation and discovery dates for a title claim are counted from the facts entered, with the basis shown.
Loan terms and immunity filings
A loan’s start, end and any immunity filing are dated so the protection does not lapse unnoticed.
Customs, permits and seizure
Permit expirations and the response dates after a seizure are calendared.
Consignment settlement
The date the dealer must account and pay proceeds is tracked against each sale.
What the matter holds
Typed records, not a narrative note: each fact is entered once and every calculation, form and document reads from it.
Provenance
Ordered owners and the evidence for each link, so a gap in the chain is visible instead of assumed.
Consignments and proceeds
Terms, sale price, commission and what has been paid over.
Loans and immunity
Lender, borrower, exhibition and the protection obtained.
Losses and insurance
Claims, valuations and the policy they sit under.
Gifts and appraisals
Values, dates and appraisers, tied to the object.
Authenticity representations
The representation made, by whom, and the remedy promised.
Prepared for you
Forms are the agency’s own PDF, filled from the record. Documents are prepared from the same rows for the attorney to edit.
The workspace, step by step
The order a matter moves through the art & cultural property workspace.
- Object
- Provenance
- Consignment
- Loans
- Loss and insurance
- Authenticity
- Claim
What it does not do
- The platform stores the provenance evidence and the experts’ reports; weighing that evidence is the attorney’s work.
- Foreign and international restitution rules are outside the platform and are recorded as counsel’s advice.
How the legal content here is checked
This page describes the software; no attorney is named as its reviewer, so none is shown. Behind the art & cultural property workspace, each deadline rule, limitation period and legal figure is stored with its citation and is recorded as verified only once a named attorney has confirmed it, with that attorney's name and the date; showing that record beside every rule on screen is still in progress. The coverage page counts how many are verified, by practice area and state.
What you can hold us to
Law Hired is practice software, not a law firm or legal-advice service

Law that changes is reference data with its citation, checked by an attorney before it is relied on
Availability is described separately from production verification
Questions firms ask
Can it record a chain of ownership?
Yes. Each owner is an ordered row with its evidence, and a gap in the chain shows as a gap.
Does it handle loans of artworks?
Loan terms and immunity filings are rows with their dates, linked to the object and its insurance.
Does it value artworks?
No. It records appraisals and who gave them; valuation is the appraiser’s.
Does Law Hired give art & cultural property legal advice?
No. Law Hired is practice software. It records, calculates and prepares from what the firm enters, and the responsible attorney verifies every date, figure and document before anyone relies on it.
