Jie Chengying advises artists, collectors, galleries, art advisers, cultural institutions, and art-related businesses on the legal and commercial matters that arise in the creation, ownership, acquisition, sale, exhibition, financing, and international movement of art.

Drawing on more than two decades of experience in corporate law, mergers and acquisitions, securities, and cross-border transactions, she brings a distinctive business perspective to the art world. She helps clients structure transactions, relationships, and ventures with an understanding that works of art may carry artistic, cultural, and personal significance while also presenting complex questions of ownership, value, governance, risk, and legacy.

She has particular experience bridging the United States and Asian markets. Her longstanding relationships within the Asian-American business, philanthropic, and cultural communities enable her to assist clients in navigating differences in legal systems, commercial practices, and cultural expectations. She approaches each engagement as both legal counsel and strategic adviser, helping clients protect their interests while supporting the artistic vision, relationships, and long-term objectives underlying the matter.

Michael Burwick brings more than 30 years of experience in corporate, tax, and securities law to tax planning for businesses, high-net-worth individuals, families, and trusts. He focuses on tax deferral, mitigation, and minimization, developing and successfully implementing innovative strategies drawn from underutilized provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). His experience offers a valuable tax planning perspective for artists and collectors seeking to preserve the value of their work and collections.

Michael advises clients ranging from businesses with several million to several hundred million dollars in annual revenue to individuals and families with complex financial circumstances. He helps clients plan for the timing and payment of capital gains and ordinary income taxes, consistently achieving substantial tax savings. He describes his work as “managing recognition events”—addressing how and when income or gains are recognized for tax purposes. For artists and collectors, this perspective is particularly relevant when evaluating the tax consequences of art sales, including the sale of highly appreciated works, and coordinating those transactions with their broader financial goals.

Before joining Becker, Michael was a partner at two Am Law 200 firms. He has more than a decade of experience in major law firms across Boston, Florida, and Washington, D.C., and has served as general counsel to an SEC-registered investment advisory and fiduciary wealth management firm, as well as general counsel and chief compliance officer for a financial management firm. His government service includes roles as legal counsel to the U.S. House of Representatives and as an Assistant Attorney General in Tallahassee, Florida.

A frequent author and speaker, Michael shares his insights on tax law, sports law, and other legal and business issues. The father of three children, one of whom has a severe disability, he is an active philanthropist and advocate for children. He serves on boards and in other philanthropic roles with organizations dedicated to children’s welfare, the prevention and treatment of childhood diseases, and children’s health and well-being.

Michael Burwick 在公司法、税法及证券法领域拥有逾30年的执业经验，为企业、高净值个人、家庭和信托提供税务规划服务。他专注于税款递延、税负减轻及税负最小化，善于运用美国《国内税收法典》（Internal Revenue Code，简称 IRC）中尚未得到充分利用的条款，设计并成功实施创新税务策略。对于希望维护作品与收藏价值的艺术家和收藏家而言，他的专业经验能够提供重要的税务规划视角。

Michael 律师的客户既包括年营业收入从数百万美元至数亿美元不等的企业，也包括财务状况复杂的个人与家庭。他协助客户规划资本利得及普通所得的纳税时点与税款缴付，持续为客户实现可观的税务节省。他将自己的工作概括为“管理税务确认事项”，即处理收入或收益在税法上如何确认、何时确认的问题。对于艺术家和收藏家，这一视角尤其有助于评估艺术品出售的税务后果，包括出售大幅升值的作品，并将相关交易与整体财务目标相协调。

加入 Becker 律师事务所之前，Michael 律师曾在两家入选《美国律师》（The American Lawyer）全美200强榜单的律师事务所担任合伙人。他在波士顿、佛罗里达州及华盛顿特区的大型律师事务所拥有逾十年的执业经验，曾担任一家在美国证券交易委员会（SEC）注册、提供投资顾问及受托财富管理服务的公司的总法律顾问，也曾担任一家金融管理公司的总法律顾问兼首席合规官。他的政府任职经历包括担任美国众议院法律顾问，以及在佛罗里达州塔拉哈西担任州助理总检察长。

Michael 律师经常撰文并发表演讲，分享他对税法、体育法及其他法律与商业议题的见解。他育有三个孩子，其中一位有重度残疾。他积极投身慈善事业，倡导儿童权益，并在致力于儿童福利、防治儿童疾病及促进儿童健康与福祉的组织中担任董事或以其他方式参与慈善工作。
