This week, we had the pleasure of hosting the panel “Navigating the Old and New Art Markets: From Biedermeier to Birkin” at our Miami office. Kaufman Rossin’s Jennifer Quent moderated an engaging discussion featuring Todd Kesterson, Allison Freidin, Michael Kaufman, Greg Levy, and Sebastian Clarke. Our panelists shared valuable insights into today’s evolving art market from tax, legal, financing, and appraisal/auction perspectives. Thank you to our panelists and to everyone who joined us!

We were honored to join Holland & Knight LLP and Popular Bank for another inspiring Spa Day event. The gathering brought together professionals from across the community to connect, collaborate, and support one another. What made the day especially meaningful was the collective effort to support Dress for Success, helping empower women to build economic independence and confidence in their careers. It was wonderful to see so many come together not only to network, but also to give back. A special thank-you to all the leaders and colleagues who made the event so impactful: Kara Sharp (Stearns), Heidy Duarte CPA, CAMS, CFE, CFS, AMLCA, Michelle Morris-Penn CPA, FCCA, CISA, Precious Sanchez, Vera Nieuwland, Cary Valdes-Perez, Lina Vendries, MBA, Claudia Sotolongo Gonzalez, Yanelis Perez, CGSS, CAMS, Betty Lopez, Christine Cameau, and Maria Elizabeth Lacasa, CFP ®. We’re grateful to be part of a community that lifts women up and supports their success.

We're grateful to be part of a community that shows up, supports, and heals together.
