Amanda is a solicitor in the Art Law Department. She began her career in the media industry before studying law and qualifying as a solicitor, first working in the field of criminal defence and then turning her attention to civil law, the focus of her practice being primarily in the world of art and antiques.
With Department Head, Karen Sanig, Amanda works on a wide range of contentious and non-contentious matters for galleries, auction houses, artists, collectors, foundations, banks and other public and private institutions - such cases often centre around disputes concerning ownership, provenance, attribution and probate. Clients value Amanda’s ability to provide advice and support in often difficult circumstances as well as provide imaginative solutions to their complex and diverse issues.
Among other matters, Amanda is currently advising on the discovery of a lost masterwork found in a parish church. She also assisted in the delicate and politically sensitive negotiations that led to the return of the antiquity, the Head of Amenhotep III to the Arab Republic of Egypt.
In 2010 Amanda was named as one of Wealth-Bulletins 40 Rising Stars in European Wealth Management 2010 which described her as "a remarkable lawyer who combines a huge breadth of skills and experience".
