SM&B has an exceptional publishing practice and client base built up and consolidated over three decades. Our work covers all aspects  of traditional and digital media.

We act for the top level of magazine publishers. In book publishing we act for leading London and New York businesses as well as many independent and academic houses.

The team combines formidable litigation skills with cutting-edge commercial and corporate ability, making it uniquely well placed in relation to publishing law.

We frequently work on complex projects by high-profile authors which are subject to challenge and criticism from many angles, and on cutting-edge journalism.

We recognise that  there is an increasing demand for legal expertise at City levels of skill at market prices.  Our sector knowledge and capabilities mean we can meet these needs in commercial and effective ways.
