The publishing industry always faces the challenge of keeping up with the fast developments in electronic media. Nowadays, for example, copyright comprises far more than merely the contents of books, CDs or DVDs - downloading music, websites and software are also included in the Dutch Copyright Act. Proper publishing and exploitation contracts are essential in order to secure claims to copyrights.

Large and small takeovers, mergers and partnerships are a frequent occurrence in the publishing sector, in which legal support and assistance is vital. Publishers are entrepreneurs as well as employers in a dynamic sector. Marxman Advocaten supports you with legal advisors that specialise in the publishing business. They are accustomed to respond effectively and adequately in a frenzied arena.

Marxman helps you draw up clear contracts with freelancers, but also helps you to handle disputes with authors, to arrange user licences, deal with copyright infringement and all other matters in the field of intellectual property.

For all your questions about the law governing legal entities, distribution contracts and supply conditions, claims for wrongful publication, unfair competition, torts and other company law problems, Marxman is the firm to engage for the right kind of assistance.
