Publication right

The Publishing team supports Norwegian publishers and related trade associations with legal and commercial advice on major and minor issues. The team routinely works with questions involving the publication of fiction and non-fiction works in traditional and digital formats, and with digital platforms and other products and services developed by publishers. Among other things, the team can provide advice on the management and licensing of rights, freedom of expression, data protection and defamation/libel, as well as on the drafting and interpretation of commercial contracts and collective agreements in the publishing industry.

The team specialises in copyright law and contract law, based on its thorough knowledge of the legal and commercial needs of the cultural affairs, media and publishing industries. Team members include experienced litigators who also offer unique experience of alternative dispute resolution such as arbitration and mediation. The team lawyers cooperate closely with international actors in the publishing industry, and have practical experience from relevant trade organizations.
