ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Diego R. Figueroa-Rodríguez is the Co-Chair of the Art Law Practice Group at DLA Piper LLP. His principal practice focuses on representing issuers and underwriters in public finance transactions including multiple types of financing structures and has acted as counsel in over 50 taxable and tax-exempt financing transactions involving the issuance of over $21 billion of bonds. Principally due to his involvement in the art world as a philanthropist, collector and board member at various cultural institutions, Diego’s practice also includes advising artists, museums, galleries, sovereign countries, private foundations and collectors, auction houses and non-profit art organizations on matters involving commercial, finance, intellectual property, litigation, corporate, trusts and estates, tax and real estate aspects. In a seminal case, Diego successfully represented a group of urban/street artists in a high profile and novel copyright lawsuit against a major movie producer and Hollywood and international studios for appropriation of a mural painted by the artists in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
