Who We Are

Betina Schlossberg

My strong belief in multiculturalism and communication led me to study languages. I am fluent in English, Spanish, Italian, and German.

I graduated as Juris Doctor from Wayne State University Law School in Detroit, Michigan. During my studies, I was an intern at the Office of Immigration Services of the Archdiocese of Detroit and an associate editor of the The International Lawyer. I completed my professional training with an LLM (Master’s in Law) in International Law, with a concentration in Art and Cultural Heritage at DePaul University College of Law in Chicago, Illinois, and did volunteer legal work at the Chicago History Museum. In addition to being an attorney, I am a Civil Mediator under MCR 2.411.

In 2010, I opened Schlossberg Legal, which handles transactional art matters for US and foreign organizations and artists, employment based immigration matters for individuals, start-ups, and both US and foreign established organizations, as well as legal counseling and legal project management for international clients.

It is my mission to make a difference for my clients, whether it is in immigration law, art law, or international legal counseling. I believe communication is essential for a healthy professional relationship - therefore, I answer the phone myself.

Jing Jing Yan (“Jenny Wightman”)
Associate Attorney

I’m a New York-admitted attorney with a lifelong passion for art, global mobility, and the law.

My journey began at the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts, where I trained in classical drawing and painting. I went on to study Character and Creature Animation at the Gnomon School of Visual Effects, combining traditional artistry with digital storytelling. That creative spirit eventually sparked a deeper curiosity: the legal and financial frameworks behind the art world.

My academic path led me to London, where I earned an LLB from City, University of London, and an MSc in Law and Finance from Queen Mary University of London. My dissertation, “The Price of Beauty: How Art Became Money Laundering's New Darling" examined the evolving role of art in financial crime and the regulatory challenges surrounding anti-money laundering compliance in the global art market.

Professionally, I led the Middle East and APAC Anti-Money Laundering and Compliance team at Burford Capital in London before relocating to the U.S., where I continued my legal career in litigation. Now, I bring my cross-jurisdictional experience in art, finance, and compliance to Schlossberg Legal.

My global perspective enhances our firm’s mission to stay at the forefront of legal innovation—particularly in art law, movement of people, and cross-border regulation.

I’m always happy to connect and discuss art law, compliance trends, or the future of regulation in creative industries.
