Isabel and Beatriz as a team
NIAL ART Boutique Law Firm is made up of two unique specimens in the field of law: Isabel Niño and Beatriz Niño. The combination of their two worlds has granted them a comprehensive vision and understanding of the legal issues of the world of art and culture.
Their interests and sensitivities have led them to specific studies on artistic heritage and to create a boutique law firm ultra-specialized in art law, especially in the law of plastic arts. Their enthusiasm and experience in uplifting and professionalizing this sector has allowed them to take part in relevant international committees of the world of art and law.
