Eaton Smith

  • Eaton Smith has had a long association with the video games industry and whilst we count one of the world’s largest developers/publishers amongst our clients, our publisher and developer clients vary in size and complexity of operations and from start up to well-established.

    As part of our wider commercial services which we offer to clients, we provide specific advice and assistance in the games sector, whether you are a developer or publisher, artwork studio, musician or a licensor or prospective licensee of IP.

    We can prepare documentation or advise on issues concerning, amongst other things:

    • Confidentiality and Confidentiality Agreements
    • Intellectual Property licences
    • Publishing Agreements
    • Development Agreements
    • Music Agreements
    • End User Licence Agreements
    • Rules connected with prize promotions to market and promote upcoming releases

    A regular type of work is reviewing and advising upon publisher agreements and we are able to review such agreements and provide the necessary legal advice prior to entry into the agreement.

    We also provide a full range of M&A activities and if an investment or share sale is envisaged, we can assist. We can also assist with shareholder agreements and changes to a company’s constitutional paperwork.

    Looking at the wider picture, it is not just advice and assistance regarding video games development and publishing that Eaton Smith is able to provide. Our other areas of work which complement this area include Employment/HR services, Dispute Resolution/Mediation, Corporate assistance and Commercial Property – these are areas that may be needed by your business at any time during its lifecycle.
