Hello! I'm a grad student (social sciences, non-law) interested in art, antiquities and cultural property law work. I'm trying to better understand how the division of labor typically happens with these cases and what kind of non-legal staff support is typically involved (and under what titles) since this seems like a very particular niche in the law space that isn't straightforward.

I've done some research and it seems like non-legal staff are typically titled as analysts, subject-matter experts, and/or researchers. Notably I haven't seen anything about certified paralegals specifically or the involvement of PI's, or project managers, even though I imagine all three would be relevant.

Is it that there *are* paralegals, project managers and PI's involved, but they usually operate under different titles in these cases? Would a paralegal certificate, a PI license, and/or a project management credential be valuable in-context regardless?

I'm also interested in what other credentials are typically sought after for these cases: if it's just subject-matter degrees or if any specific certificates, training or licenses are considered a legible value-add. I have my own inferences of what could be valuable, but naturally I'm approaching it from the outside looking in, and could be missing certain points or taking them for granted.
