Copyright
Our clients come to our leading copyright practitioners for assistance on, for example: protecting copyright works through litigation and other enforcement strategies; exploiting online platforms and new media (working closely with our Technology practice); negotiating ownership and use of copyright; issues arising during M&A and restructuring activity; publishing and content contracts; aggregation and scraping.
Our Copyright practice represents a broad array of clients including prestigious book, magazine, newspaper, online and music publishers, broadcasters, industry organisations, collecting societies, and individual authors, artists and musicians.
The practice has an outstanding track record of protecting the rights of owners and exploiters of copyright works and helping them to license and exploit those rights in the most effective way, both individually and collectively. We regularly help clients in the sale and purchase of catalogues of copyright work, including carrying out due diligence. Clients seek our advice on both a national and a European level.
