Who We Work With: Authors and Publishers

Authors and Publishers and the Law

Getting a book or article out to the public requires more than a good idea and a keyboard. Legal clearances, contracts, and protections are crucial factors in the creation and publication of a written work. Getting an experienced legal team involved early can ensure a work gets published and distributed. If you are looking for a legal team with expertise working with authors and publishers, contact us at Creative Law Network. Check out our Authors and Publishers Legal Checklist for a list of things to consider and ways we can help.

What Can a Lawyer do For You?

As lawyers specializing in the legal issues that arise in the creation, publishing, and distribution of  written works, we help our clients with contracts, manuscript review, clearances, copyrights, trademarks, licensing, and everything else necessary to publish and distribute. This includes drafting, negotiating, and reviewing all sorts of contracts like publishing agreements, work for hire agreements, distribution agreements, life rights agreements, and option agreements. It includes protecting the copyright in the work and trademark protection of names and logos. And it means answering questions about the ins and outs of creating and publishing successfully. Essentially, we are here to handle the business and legal stuff so you can get the work out there! Please reach out to us at Creative Law Network if you have any questions. We’re here to help!
