Technology has changed the publishing industry significantly and we’re here to help our clients navigate these shifts and harvest opportunities in the new era of electronic and online publishing.

Offering digital, intellectual property, commercial and corporate advice, our team advises authors, illustrators, publishers, agents, hosts and developers and draws our lawyers’ pan-sector experience to provide our clients with advice that will help them exploit and protect the value of their content.

Over the years, we’ve advised on a broad range of book deals for football players and pop stars, and across a wide variety of genres from children’s stories to cookery books and we advised Wilbur Smith on what was the biggest publishing deal of the year.

We have an in-depth understanding of how traditional book rights need to be tailored to evolving digital platforms, apps and social media and combined with the firm’s pan-media expertise, we can offer the publishing fraternity an unparalleled level of service, knowledge and skill.
