Hughes Hubbard represented Anne White on a pro bono basis in resolving a commercial dispute brought by Hollis TaggartGalleries concerning White's sale of an oil painting by noted abstract expressionist artist Sam Francis.
In January, Hollis Taggart filed the action in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging that White falsely represented that she was the sole legal owner of, and had the right to convey, the painting. The gallery further alleged that White jointly owned the work with her husband, who had not consented to the sale. White maintained that she disclosed to the gallery that she was selling only her half-interest in the work. She also maintained that the gallery paid less than one-half of the painting's appraised value.
In March, Judge Jed S. Rakoff directed the clerk of court to seek pro bono counsel for White for the limited purposes of answering the complaint, conducting discovery and engaging in settlement discussions.
Hughes Hubbard stepped in, working with the parties over several months to negotiate a confidential settlement. The gallery ultimately dismissed its lawsuit against White with prejudice.
Dan Weiner led the Hughes Hubbard team, which included Mana Ameri.

Marc Weinstein discussed whether courts should consider using forthcoming federal sentencing guideline amendments before they officially take effect on Nov. 1 with Law360.
The article examines how some white-collar defense attorneys are successfully arguing that defendants should benefit now from sentencing reforms adopted by the U.S. Sentencing Commission in April. Among other changes, the amendments call for adjusting a 16-tier chart used to calculate penalties for financial crimes based on loss amounts to account for inflation.
Weinstein described the approach as a "great idea" with little downside, highlighting how upcoming guideline changes may influence sentencing decisions even before their formal enactment.
"Even if the courts were not to apply the specific new guidelines, you'd hope they'd take into account that if the person were sentenced several months from now, the guidelines would be different," Weinstein said.
