Jana S. Farmer

Jana Farmer (Partner-White Plains, NY), Dara Elpren (Associate-New York, NY), and Adam Buchwalter (Partner-Madison, NJ) coauthored the April 14, 2026, update of “Art & Cultural Property Law 2026,” a global practice guide published by Chambers and Partners USA. The practice guide is prepared for general audiences and discusses topics that those interested in familiarizing themselves with U.S. Art Law would want to know. The Wilson Elser team provides a comprehensive overview of key areas of art and cultural property law, including artists’ rights over their work, plagiarism and copyright infringement, art authentication, cultural heritage and its protection, art sales (including the roles of art advisers and auction houses), photography and related legal protection, NFTs, and art inheritance and the tax implications of gifts and trusts. The guide remains a vital resource for general counsel and senior management, with contributors recognized among the top practitioners in their respective fields.
