getting the most out of the law (and lawyers)
Negotiating a well drafted author/publisher
contract is key to a successful author/publisher relationship.
Authors also need to focus on how they deal with their literary
assets and royalty streams, both during their lifetime and after
their death.
We are able to advise on legal issues facing
authors from the creation of their works onwards, with practical
advice on what to look out for in publishing contracts, how to
avoid expensive libel law suits, what steps to take to protect and
preserve your copyrights and other intellectual property assets,
whether on a relationship-breakdown or after your
death.
As well as advising authors, Blake Lapthorn's
Private Client Services group
is also able to advise private individuals on the many complex
legal issues relating to the arts and heritage property.
