- Meet the Founder
Hi, I'm Sharon
For over 10 years, I have worked closely with officers, employees, and board members of cultural institutions, advising on day-to-day contracts, risk management, and intellectual property. During that time, I have negotiated and reviewed thousands of museum agreements.
I understand that not all museums have the budget to retain legal counsel for every transaction, even when the risks are real and the stakes are high. That is why I created MuseumContracts.com–to provide museums affordable, practical legal protection, without requiring them to reinvent the wheel.
