CONTEXT

Our markets are changing rapidly and so are the needs of our clients. As we evolve from being a predominantly print based publisher into a truly global, brand focused digital media and entertainment company, our routes to market are becoming more diverse and more complex. This is leading to an increase in the number of different sales models we must maintain and a growth in the complexity of deals we are making. At the same time, this is taking place against a backdrop of rapid change in the regulatory context for digital advertising, marketing, copyright and data laws. In order to respond to these changes, and because we cannot realise the opportunities of the digital marketplace without also managing the risks that are inherent within it, we have created a new and globally integrated approach to legal advice combining skills across all legal disciplines, with a particular focus on:

Content and Media Law
Digital, Revenue, and Consumer
Employment and Compliance
Corporate and Regulatory
