Offit Kurman’s Howard Kurman Quoted in Law360 on Possible Effects of the Upcoming Election

Howard Kurman, labor and employment principal at Offit Kurman, was recently quoted in the Law360 article, “Harris' Surge Renews Labor Advocates' White House Hopes.” The article focuses on the possible effects on current and future labor policy if the Harris/Walz administration were to win the November election. The election is the main influence for changes to federal labor policy because the president will choose who leads the National Labor Relations Board.

Howard stated, “It did not look good for a renewal of the Biden presidency, and most people figured that if Trump were elected … that many of the interpretations of the [National Labor Relations] Act, which were published and sought by the Democratic board, might go bye-bye."

    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.
