Our palette of contacts.

Rena Neville brings a rare combination of international experience across the art world, law and business, built over a 30-year career at Sotheby’s. She held a number of roles there, including General Counsel for Europe, based in London, and Global Head of Litigation, based in New York.

Rena is currently Director of the Art Division at FCS Compliance. She advises United Kingdom art market participants on anti-money laundering matters — international and regional auction houses, art galleries and art advisers. She lives and works in London.

Solène Clément is a recognised expert in anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CFT) applied to the art market. President and founder of OLAB, the observatory for anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing, she works to spread a culture of compliance suited to the specifics of the art sector. She is also Vice-President of the advisory board of CARPA Paris.

Since 2017, Solène Clément has supported art market trade bodies in understanding and applying the regulatory obligations arising from European law and the French monetary and financial code. Her expertise rests on her ability to make complex legal texts accessible and to turn them into effective operational processes, suited to organisations of every size.

Driven by her commitment to compliance and her passion for the art market, she naturally partnered with Eunomart to help build a simple, reliable and secure tool for professionals.

Pauline advises obliged entities on the practical implementation of their AML/CFT obligations: identification of clients and beneficial owners, risk assessment, drafting of internal procedures, handling of atypical transactions and suspicious transaction reports to CTIF. She also defends her clients in financial criminal proceedings related to money laundering and serious tax fraud, and assists them with complex questions around the repatriation of capital.

A regular speaker, she co-authored Droit pénal fiscal en (r)évolution (Larcier, 2023) and publishes regularly in the Revue de droit pénal de l’entreprise and the Revue Générale du Contentieux Fiscal, whose editorial board she sits on.

A partner at Borel & Barbey, Anne-Laure Bandle advises and represents private and institutional clients in art law, copyright, philanthropy as well as contract and commercial law. Widely recognised for her expertise, she advises a varied client base — private individuals, collectors, art dealers, Swiss and international foundations, art institutions and artists — at every stage of their projects, from structuring them to making them last.

Anne-Laure Bandle also works on wealth and estate planning, on philanthropic projects and on intellectual property, offering tailored solutions matched to her clients’ objectives.
