Attorney Roslyn Soudry Featured in NBC News: Insights on Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's Divorce Without a Prenup

Roslyn Soudry, a principal attorney in Offit Kurman's Matrimonial and Family Law Practice Group, was quoted in the NBC News report, "Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck divorcing without prenup to guide them could be complicated."

After two years of marriage, Jennifer Lopez has reportedly filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, and according to press reports, the couple does not have a prenuptial agreement.

Soudry noted the presumed unexpected absence of a prenup, as reported by the media, expressing that she would have expected their business managers, accountants, and attorneys to have strongly recommended one.

Given the lack of a prenuptial agreement, per the press reports, Soudry believes that significant disputes over assets accumulated during the marriage are unlikely. "Given that it's only a two-year marriage, they're likely close to reaching a settlement," Soudry commented.

    Artful Donations: Exploring Museum Exchange
    In this episode of The Legal Canvas, host Caryn Keppler welcomes Robert Wainstein and Michael Darling, co-founders of Museum Exchange, the first digital platform dedicated to facilitating art donations to museums and nonprofit institutions across North America. Together, they explore how technology is transforming the way collectors, artists, estates, and cultural organizations connect through charitable giving. Robert and Michael explain the inspiration behind Museum Exchange, the challenges they set out to solve, and how the platform has grown into a network of more than 400 museums. They walk listeners through the donation process—from evaluating artwork and matching donors with institutions to handling logistics, documentation, and tax considerations. Along the way, they discuss the realities of museum collecting, why many donations are declined, and how thoughtful placements can help preserve artists' legacies while expanding access to important works of art. The conversation also explores Museum Exchange's work with living artists, artist estates, hospitals, universities, and smaller regional museums, as well as the launch of the Charis Foundation for the Arts, a nonprofit designed to steward significant collections before placing them with institutions that can best benefit from them. Robert and Michael conclude by sharing their vision for the future of charitable art transactions and how Museum Exchange is helping reshape philanthropy in the arts for generations to come.
