content: This subseries consists of correspondence and other material that focuses on the legal affairs of the firm. The bulk of the correspondence with the two law firms representing Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., reflect fairly routine legal matters, such as taxes, real estate, investments, corporate filings, license renewals, etc. The remaining files concern specific legal actions or issues, such as asset liquidations, lawsuits, and a partnership with Georges Seligmann. A particularly interesting subseries houses correspondence and other documents associated with the firm's attempts after World War II to recover the stolen artwork and assets of the Paris office and the Seligmann family.
