In a September 7, 2016 article, National Law Journal profiled Venable's newly launched Art Law Group and partner Joshua Kaufman who co-heads the group with Michele Mulrooney. Launched last month, the group is described as "one of the few dedicated and comprehensive art law groups in Big Law."
The article highlights Kaufman's collection of art that he displays in his office and how he helped define the "work-for-hire" before the U.S. Supreme Court as it relates to artists earlier in his career. Partner Tamany Vinson Bentz, who has worked with Kaufman on several matters, told National Law Journal that Kaufman's "background as an artist helps him think creatively as a lawyer and connect with his clients."
