Events

Museums, libraries, and cultural institutions of all sizes face significant institutional demands and novel issues in light of the changing public health landscape, including how best to adapt to an increasing digital world, address labor and workforce changes, and engage in meaningful diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. With esteemed faculty that includes museum in-house counsel, outside counsel with specialized expertise, and museum directors, attendees will gain knowledge from which to draw upon for years. For the past 50 years, the Legal Issues in Museum Administration conference has been the annual event to attend for focused instruction on the core legal and business issues facing the museum, library, and cultural institution community.

Wiggin and Dana is proud to sponsor the American Law Institute Continuing Legal Education‘s 50th annual conference. This year’s Legal Issues in Museum Administration conference will both reflect on how museum lawyering has evolved and look to its future. Featured sessions include instruction on this year’s most important legal issues, including:

• Cryptocurrency and NFTs
• Recent developments in restitution and repatriation
• Digital collections
• Donor advised funds and other hot topics in philanthropy
• Remote work arrangements
• Virtual museum programming
• Fair use updates for museum professionals
• Visitor policies: COVID-19 specific policies, managing unruly visitors, and more
