Artists are a little bit like the Wild West. There’s a lot of potentials, but the steps to making profits can be convoluted and vague at best. Protecting your brand or even a single artwork involves intellectual property, and trademarks. An artist requires creativity and flexibility. Lawson represents boutique designers, teachers, galleries, musicians, models and freelancers. We build their knowledge and help grow their business. And you will be speaking to an artist as well, Mark founded the Timaru Photographic Society in 1987 and is a Life member and the Patron. Mark and Sarah worked as weekend news photographers for the Timaru Herald for a decade.

With the continuing introduction of varying revenue streams, the opportunity for profit grows, but so does the complexity.

We help our clients form companies, design plans to manage and minimise taxes.
