Art law encompasses various legal aspects related to creating, selling, and safeguarding art and cultural heritage. For artists, collectors, dealers, and other participants in the art world, understanding key contractual issues in Art Law is crucial and essential. Contracts play a pivotal role in the art world. They govern terms of sale, transfer of ownership, and the rights and obligations of parties involved.
A contract is a legally binding agreement between two or more parties that establishes the rights and obligations of each party involved. In the art industry, contracts play a crucial role in outlining the terms and conditions of various transactions, collaborations, and agreements. Contracts in the art industry cover a wide range of scenarios, such as the sale of artworks, commissioning of works, licensing of art, exhibition arrangements, and more.
Why Are Contracts Important When Dealing With Art
Contracts are essential in the art industry for several reasons:
Clarity: Contracts provide clear terms that both parties agree to, reducing the potential for misunderstandings and disputes. Clarity is important, for instance galleries and artists who enter into an exhibition agreement must be clear of what the terms are.
Protection: Contracts protect the interests of artists, collectors, galleries, and other stakeholders by outlining rights, responsibilities, and expectations. When parties enter into contracts, the rights and obligations of each party are clearly stated, therefore leaving no ambiguity.
Legal Enforceability: A well-drafted contract is legally binding and can be enforced in court if one party fails to fulfill their obligations.
Risk Management: Contracts can help mitigate risks by addressing issues such as intellectual property rights, payment terms, delivery timelines, and liability.
Professionalism: Using contracts demonstrates professionalism and seriousness in business dealings within the art industry.
Different types of contracts in the Art Industry
There are various types of contracts that artists, collectors, galleries, and other art industry stakeholders might encounter:
Sale Agreements: These outline the terms of the sale of artworks, including price, delivery, condition, and payment terms.
Commission Agreements: When an artist is commissioned to create a custom artwork, this contract specifies details such as the scope of the work, compensation, and deadlines.
Licensing Agreements: These agreements grant permission for others to use an artist’s work under specified conditions, such as reproducing an artwork for commercial purposes.
Exhibition Agreements: When an artist’s work is exhibited, the contract details the responsibilities of both the artist and the gallery or venue hosting the exhibition.
Consignment Agreements: Galleries might enter into consignment agreements with artists, specifying terms for displaying and selling artworks on behalf of the artist.
Collaboration Agreements: In cases of artistic collaboration, a contract outlines each collaborator’s contributions, rights, and responsibilities.
Contractual Issues In Art Law
In the art industry, several contractual issues may arise. This includes
Intellectual Property: Contracts should address who retains ownership of intellectual property rights, including copyright and reproduction rights.
Payment: Contracts must clearly outline payment terms, including the total amount, due dates, and methods of payment.
Delivery and Acceptance: Contracts should specify details about the delivery of artworks, inspection, and acceptance criteria.
Dispute Resolution: Including clauses for resolving disputes, such as through arbitration or mediation, can help avoid costly legal battles.
Termination: Contracts should outline conditions under which the contract can be terminated by the parties and the consequences of termination.
It’s important to note that while contracts provide a legal framework; their effectiveness depends on their clarity, completeness, and adherence to applicable laws and regulations. When dealing with contracts in the art industry in Nigeria, it’s advisable to consult with legal professionals who are knowledgeable about both contract law and the specific nuances of the art industry in the country.

Nigeria’s 2024 Bid-Round: Ensure Nigeria’s Net-Zero Emission Commitment
– Tolu Aderemi
An oil and gas expert, Tolu Aderemi, has emphasized the importance of competence, capacity, and patriotism in guiding Nigeria’s 2024 oil and gas bid round, which opened on April 29, 2024.
Aderemi, a Visiting Professor at Afe Babalola University and Partner at Perchstone & Graeys, LP highlighted the significance of meeting Nigeria’s OPEC quota of 1.38 million barrels per day.
According to him, “Statistics from the fourth quarter of 2023 show Nigeria’s struggle to meet its OPEC quota, with production levels falling below the target. The OPEC Monthly Oil Market Report (MOMR) for March 2024 revealed a decline in Nigeria’s output from 1.427 million barrels per day in January to 1.322 million barrels per day in February, attributed to challenges such as crude oil theft, insecurity, asset vandalism, and sabotage.
Despite these obstacles, Aderemi, who is also the Chairman, International Law Association (ILA) Arbitration Committee,
expressed cautious optimism about the success of the 2024 bid round, citing the government’s implementation of a robust Regulatory Action Plan (RAP) and a transparent bidding timetable.
He noted that the regulator has set out a robust, realistic and transparent bidding timetable and a credible data partner and that where it (the regulator) is faithful to its own processes, the exercise will not only be successful but will deliver increased foreign exchange revenue to Nigeria, improved job creation and create a robust and vibrant market with new technologies and infrastructural development.
“It is also bound to birth greater opportunities for indigenous players.
As the bid round progresses, Aderemi stressed the importance of bidders’ commitment to Nigeria’s net-zero emission target. He also raised concerns about market exits following the passage of the Petroleum Industry Act in 2021, urging the government to attract competent investors while ensuring transparency and sustainability in the sector,” he stressed.
However, Aderemi warned against potential pitfalls in the bid round, including forced mergers of bidders, allegations of favoritism, unrealistic signature bonuses, and inflated asset values, which could result in failure if not addressed.
In his final analysis, whilst Mr Aderemi praised government’s initiative and doggedness to consistently stimulate the Nigerian oil & gas market with robust and friendly legal and regulatory framework and urged the world to look at the new Nigeria and its market landscape under the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s business-friendly administration.

The event took place on the 2nd of May, 2024 at the Ebony Life Place, Victoria Island, Lagos State. The event opened with welcome speech and opening remarks by Adeleke Alex- Adedipe, Managing Partner, Duale, Ovia&Alex-Adedipe after which a keynote address was given by Chairman, ARCA Payment Limited. Upon conclusion of the keynote address, a fireside chat commenced. In this session Mr. kyari Abba Bukar was asked questions by Aruoture Oddiri “Rotus” regarding his business, experience, challenges and insights about technology and policies. The members of the audience were also given the opportunity to ask questions.
Subsequently, the first panel discussion began following a brief interlude for tea. This panel comprised esteemed figures and emerging leaders within the financial technology realm, including Olatubosun Alake, the Honourable Commissioner for Science, Innovation, and Technology; Adesuwa Okunbo-Rhodes, the Founder of Aruma Capital Management; Kola Aina, the Founding Partner of Ventures Platform; Femi Ogunjimi, the Co-Founder of Cardinal Stone Capital Advisers; and Tosin Eniolorunda, the Founder of Moniepoint. This session was moderated by Adeniyi Duale, Partner at DualeOvia&Alex-Adedipe.
The interaction commenced with the moderator inviting Adesuwa to share insights on potential reforms for venture capital to fortify the ecosystem. Adesuwa highlighted significant declines in venture capital and advocated for leveraging local investments as a remedy. She proposed the establishment of a government-backed venture capital fund to bolster the economy, suggesting that untapped funds could be redirected for this purpose. Additionally, Adesuwa recommended implementing a framework for Local Capital Mobilization.
Tosin Eniolorunda was tasked with offering advice to startups. He began by stressing that the primary goal of any startup, like any other company, is profitability to provide dividends or returns to investors. He asserted that a startup must offer a product or service that resonates with customers and identify an industry to target for sales. He recommended that startups generate significant publicity for their offerings and ensure they have a plan to provide returns to investors while also focusing on the growth of their products and services.
Femi addressed the hurdles faced by Nigerian tech startups, emphasizing both internal and external challenges. He focused particularly on internal obstacles, emphasizing the importance of business model and strategy. He challenged the common narrative among founders, which typically revolves around identifying problems, developing solutions, and expecting product adoption. Instead, he proposed key questions that businesses should consider at the outset, such as how to generate revenue, the timeline for profitability, revenue projections, scalability of the product or service, and the business culture. He believed that addressing these questions comprehensively would not only help businesses thrive but also mitigate challenges encountered during the business-building process.
The moderator directed a question about mentorship to Kola Aina, who personally expressed his divergence from the concept for entrepreneurs. However, Kola emphasized the importance of entrepreneurs recognizing that capital alone is insufficient for business success; they also need to establish advisory boards and cultivate a supportive community. He concluded by highlighting the correlation between entrepreneurial promotion and business success.
The Honourable Commissioner was then asked to elaborate on the Lagos state government’s contributions to venture capital and startups. He explicitly mentioned that the government has awarded grants to 70 startups across various sectors and has consistently provided a launchpad for startups to prepare them for venture capital investments.
Subsequently, the panelists addressed another round of questions. Tosin discussed the challenges faced by startups during the scaling-up process, which encompassed regulatory hurdles, compliance issues, funding, talent acquisition, and the impact of external factors like the “Japa wave” and manipulations by crypto operators, prompting government policy shifts affecting fintech startups.
Kola tackled the measures required to bolster investor confidence in Nigeria’s fintech sector. He stressed the necessity of creating a robust investment environment in Nigeria to attract foreign investors and instill faith in startups. The first panel session concluded with an interactive question-and-answer segment involving both panelists and audience members.
The second panel session was moderated by Nichole Yembra, the founding partner of The Chrysalis Company. This panel featured Olumide Soyombo, the Co-founder of Voltron Capital and Bluechip Technologies Limited; Yanmo Omorogbe, the COO and Co-Founder of Bamboo; Olu Oyinsan, the Managing Partner of Oui Capital; Dr. Femi Kuti, the CEO of Reliance Health; and Tosin Faniro-Dada, a Partner at Breega. The session focused on the theme “Show me the money,” where panelists shared their experiences in securing funding for their startups.
Yanmo encouraged startup owners to consider several key factors to effectively reach their target customers. These factors include bringing on board founders with prior experience, understanding the market and the needs of the target audience, evaluating competitors, selecting co-founders who complement each other, and recognizing the significance of timing. Additionally, Yanmo advised entrepreneurs to pitch their ideas to themselves first before presenting them to others, emphasizing the importance of self-assessment in gauging investment potential.
Tosin addressed the question of “How to navigate choosing the right partners and attracting investors,” echoing Yanmo’s emphasis on timing. He also underscored the importance of thoroughly evaluating potential partners and investors to ensure alignment with the startup’s vision and goals.
Olu Oyinsan shared his experience as a startup owner, highlighting the importance of taking calculated risks despite unforeseen challenges. He emphasized that before anything else, startup founders must determine if their venture is necessary, assemble a capable team, and define what success looks like for the company. Answering these fundamental questions guides critical decision-making for startup owners.
All panelists emphasized the importance of clarity in defining the problem a startup aims to solve, crafting a compelling narrative to attract investors, and ensuring the business can generate returns for its investors. The event concluded with closing remarks from Soibi Ovia, a Partner at Duale, Ovia & Alex-Adedipe.

Advantages Of DIY Contracts To Entrepreneurs
DIY contracts, or “Do-It-Yourself” contracts, are agreements that individuals can create and customize on their own without necessarily hiring a lawyer. These are legally binding agreements that individuals draft using templates or guides. They are designed to be straightforward enough for non-lawyers to understand and use, while still providing the necessary legal protection. DIY contracts can cover a variety of interactions, from business agreements to personal arrangements.
DIY contracts are particularly useful for simpler agreements where the stakes are not excessively high and the terms can be clearly defined by the parties involved. However, for more complex transactions or where significant assets or risks are involved, it’s advisable to seek professional legal advice.
Key advantages of DIY contracts include:
1. Cost-Effective: Entrepreneurs often operate with limited budgets, especially in the early stages of their business. DIY contracts can save on legal fees as they can be drafted without the immediate need for an expensive attorney.
2. Time-Saving: DIY contracts can be created using templates and tailored to specific needs, which is much faster than starting from scratch or waiting for a lawyer to draft them.
3. Flexibility: Entrepreneurs can customize DIY contracts to suit the unique aspects of their business dealings, allowing for greater control over the terms and conditions.
4. Legal Protection: Even a simple contract can provide legal protection by clearly outlining the rights and responsibilities of all parties involved.
5. Clarity and Prevention of Disputes: Contracts help prevent misunderstandings by making the terms of a business relationship clear from the outset².
6. Professionalism: Having a written contract can enhance the professional image of an entrepreneur and demonstrate seriousness about their business.
7. Building Trust: Contracts can help build trust between parties by showing a commitment to honor the agreed terms.
8. Reference Point: They serve as a reference for the obligations and expectations of each party, which can be particularly useful in long-term business relationships.
9. Risk Management: By defining the scope of work, payment terms, and other key elements, contracts help manage and minimize business risks.
10. Enforceability: A well-drafted contract can be enforceable in court, providing a remedy if one party fails to meet their obligations.
These advantages make DIY contracts a valuable tool for entrepreneurs looking to establish clear, legally sound, and cost-effective business arrangements.
