ADVISORY PRACTICE

Strategy, legal, transactions.

WHAT WE DO

Darmo supports a small circle of private collectors, families and institutions in building, managing and transmitting their art collections. Our work unfolds over time and across three inseparable axes: wealth and legal strategy, the conduct of transactions, and institutional engagement.

We work alongside business owners building a first collection, and within families whose collection has passed down several generations. In the most significant matters we have handled, the stakes run into several hundred million euros in works.

OUR PRINCIPLE - INDEPENCE

We are not our clients' dealers. We are their advisors. Our work is to direct each transaction toward the channel and the counterparty that best serve the client's interest. This freedom of direction, beholden to no particular channel, is the heart of our independence.
