Art Law

Based in Toronto, Delex LLP works closely with clients across Ontario and internationally who are connected to the city’s vibrant art, design, and digital innovation sectors. Our art law services are tailored to the unique legal, commercial, and cultural realities of Toronto’s creative industries. We offer specialized counsel at the intersection of intellectual property law, NFT art, and art-related disputes. If you are looking for art lawyers in Toronto with experience in copyright law, NFT art, and art litigation, we provide clear, business-focused legal solutions designed to protect your work and your creative legacy.

Copyright protection is fundamental to the creation, licensing, and commercialization of art. We advise artists and art-oriented businesses on copyright ownership, moral rights, licensing agreements, infringement issues, and enforcement strategies. Whether you are creating traditional visual art, digital works, or collaborative projects, we help ensure your intellectual property rights are clearly defined, protected, and properly monetized.

NFTs have transformed how art is created, sold, and licensed. Our services include legal guidance on NFT minting, smart contract terms, NFT licensing structures, copyright implications, and digital asset transactions. We assist artists, collectors, and platforms in understanding what rights are transferred with an NFT, how to structure licenses, and how to reduce legal risk in the evolving NFT and blockchain ecosystem.

We represent clients in art-related litigation, including copyright infringement claims, ownership disputes, authenticity issues, breach of licensing agreements, and conflicts involving galleries, collectors, or digital platforms. Our approach combines deep knowledge of art law with practical litigation strategies, whether the dispute arises from traditional art markets or emerging digital and NFT-based transactions.
